A daily walk in faith, hope and love
REFERENCE: John 2:2-11 Jesus was invited to the wedding (vs 2) - That in itself raised the question 'have you invited Jesus to your feast?' - to your life, your family, your business? Is Jesus in the boat with you? It is that presence that gives you a hotline to hil like Mary did or... Continue Reading →
You would expect that for someone with increasing popularity, the drive would have been to increase visibility and permeability even further. But with Jesus, we see an opposite response: he retreated to pray. The verse of interest today is this: Luke 5:15-16 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and... Continue Reading →
You can spend time discerning the intentions of others, you may get it spot on or miss it entirely. The latter can often come at a steep cost. But we have an example today that appears to skip the whole introspection and goes straight for the jugular with the question "what do you want?" John... Continue Reading →
Whenever a statement begins with the words 'did you know that', it is likely indicative of a fact or truth one might never have been exposed to. This can usually have a profound impact on the hearer.

Life consists of patterns- night then day, that is one pattern; winter-spring-summer-autumn that is another. There are many others like... Continue Reading →
'Arise, shine, for your light has come'(Isaiah 60:1a). Whenever light arrives, there is an accompanying boldness because sight is clearer and paths are illuminated. One can see where they step and so can press forward in that direction. In its absence, every forward move is a risk and even standing still is also risky. The... Continue Reading →
The question today is a rather straightforward one "what wisdom have you gleaned from the world around you?" That world in question being a total sum of all things created, including the men in it and very often, the circumstances and situations they contribute to creating. In most of the encounters we have with the... Continue Reading →
1 Peter 2:17 reads "Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king". This is an interesting capture of a contrast with the Gospel text today. Luke 18:2 introduces us to a judge who went against those very words “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and... Continue Reading →
