314/365 Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Every action and activity under the sun seeks to serve a purpose: whether this purpose is known or not is a subject for another day. Regardless however, actions that... Continue Reading →
HELPED BY GOD
313/365 Psalms 146:3 Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. In times of expansion, need or challenge, one requires help to breakthrough and press forward. Seeing as we live in a world surrounded by billions of other humanbeings, common sense will dictate then... Continue Reading →
HE MOVES ON TIME
296/365 Luke 13:16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” Timetables are meant to serve as guides for when things are to be done. The problem with them is the chaos they create when clashes of... Continue Reading →
HELPED BY GOD
295/365 Luke 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Many of the things we come into contact with we deemed irrelevant, and lessons seemed inapplicable. We also concluded that many people apparently only... Continue Reading →
HIS MAJESTY
264/365 Each day, on my way home from the work, I encounter hundreds if not thousands of people but today, I must confess, somehow, I found myself staring. It was fascinating to see multitudes of people and yet each person so unique: their faces, voices, stature, styles of walking, pace of steps, even the sway... Continue Reading →
CRITERIA TO BE FULFILLED
260/365 Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold what is good from those who deserve it; if it is within your power to give it, do it. Men are the custodians of the graces of God on earth. When He wants to move, He uses men as His hands and feet. Thus in many ways, we could... Continue Reading →
