Isaiah 30:18 – “Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.” When we ride behind a public bus we see people running […]
Proverbs 28:14 – “Happy is the man who is always reverent, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.” One man in the Bible is mentioned a few times for having a hardened heart: the Egyptian Pharaoh who repeatedly rejected Moses’ pleas to release the people of Israel who were in slavery. Pharaoh’s […]
1 Peter 1:3 – “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” What a day of rejoicing it would have been! The disciples and Jesus’s closest followers had thought […]
Jeremiah 17:14 – “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For you are my praise.” The gospels narrate a number of miracles Jesus did among the people. If you take a deeper look at them, you’ll notice that often when Jesus healed someone, He also told […]

Proverbs 8:32 – “Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.” Listening is almost an art.

But listening doesn’t come naturally […]
Proverbs 28:20 – “A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.” Faithfulness is something we don’t easily come across in this generation. We switch companies when our jobs become stagnant, upgrade our phones when they start lagging and even relationships are taken lightly. The Bible, however, […]
Psalm 92:1 – “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High.” It is good to be thankful, and not to take anyone or anything for granted. When it comes to our God, our thankfulness should be constant, day and night, and we should sing […]
