A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 272 John 1:48 Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” In today's Gospel, Nathaniel hears a very interesting statement 'I saw you'.Thus, oblivious of the fact that Jesus was watching him, he...

DAY 271 Luke 9:9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. Herod found himself perplexed [completely baffled, puzzled and clueless]. The reason for this was because he was receiving conflicting information. It was as though his channels of communication...

DAY 270 Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. We might find it strange that Jesus conferred both power and authority when he sent out the twelve, but that was the only way to ensure they excelled. Think about this:... Continue Reading →

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Even though we are drawn into intimacy with God, as a new... Continue Reading →
DAY 265 Lessons in life can be gleaned from many sources. In today's mini bites, I share three lessons after reflecting on an 800-kilometre drive. The first half of the journey was a four and half hour drive with a 30 minute stop midway. This break proved necessary hence, the first bite: 1. Breaks are... Continue Reading →
DAY 264 Matthew 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. Whenever God interrupts our journeys, many of us go up in arms wondering what He is up to. Because knowing God,... Continue Reading →
DAY 263 Luke 7:32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other: “’We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not cry.’ The creation of man includes a wiring that even the creator does not override, that is free...
