ESTABLISHING MOTIVES

DAY 48 A brief extract from one commentary about today's text read "Whatever the occasion, we aspire to be at the top of the pack, looked up to by the masses".One might think this relates to the attainment of mastery, but it is far from it. Instead of a rise to the top being driven... Continue Reading →

TIME TO CHECK THE ACCOUNTS

DAY 47 We always seem to want more from everything: more from life, more from others, and more from God. More strength, more grace, more favour, more anointing and more love. More appears to be better than what we already have isn't it? Yet, it is fascinating that while God delivers to Noah the same... Continue Reading →

SEASONS COME WITH NOTICES

DAY 46 Genesis 8:22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Personally, I do not like the cold and so would wish that we skipped that season of the year entirely. My ideal annual cycle would be spring, summer, autumn, then back... Continue Reading →

Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Think of...

MEN ARE THE CUSTODIANS

DAY 42/365 Everyday presents an opportunity to learn new things even about the things we think we know much about. I had an interaction that revealed that some information is only known by people within a specific scope of influence. However hard you try, unless you ask, that body of knowledge might never come to... Continue Reading →

TIME SPENT IN HIDING

DAY 40 Mark 7:24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. In the Gospel today, Jesus entered town and wanted to slip under the radar. But as we read, it was... Continue Reading →
