A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 210 Matthew 13:22 The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. The soul (intellect, emotion, will) is one dimension in man where the word of God has the capacity to make... Continue Reading →
DAY 198 Exodus 1:8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. Even though the Israelites multiplied, no Pharoah had perceived them as a threat because they knew they were Joseph's people. Egypt as a civilisation, had also neither lost its influence nor power, yet somehow, there had been a... Continue Reading →
DAY 165 Matthew 5:19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. A simple but broad definition of teaching is this: 'passing... Continue Reading →

Obedience refers to compliance with an instruction or order, often received from... Continue Reading →
DAY 103/365 Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. We read about a risen Jesus in the midst of disciples who were in a state of fright and utter panic trying to... Continue Reading →
DAY 101 John 20:16 Mary!” Jesus said. She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”). It isn't that Mary did not hear the words the 'supposed gardener' spoke at first. "In the very least, he asked her two complete questions: woman, why are you weeping? and Whom are you seeking?... Continue Reading →
DAY 95 I was quite intrigued to find the word "seek" quite ingrained into the fabric of today's text. We all see Judas as the betrayer. In fact, unarguably, he will have a spot on the list of the most disliked characters in scripture. But today, he shows us he was actually a good student... Continue Reading →
