A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 343 Isaiah 30:20 Although the Lord has given you bread of deprivation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher, will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will see your Teacher. The bread of adversity and the water of affliction are not meals anyone would readily order, at least not if they had a... Continue Reading →
DAY 341 What lasts forever? This was the question that came to mind after I read the first reading of today from Isaiah. The text of interest is Isaiah 26:3 ''You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You". A mind stayed on God is the... Continue Reading →
DAY 325 Luke 19:13 Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

DAY 296 Luke 12:13-14 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? On the walks of Jesus through town as we read, he is met by a... Continue Reading →

DAY 167 Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. It is interesting that in one breath, Jesus mentions rest and a yoke. For all intents and purposes, we would expect that the presence of rest would signify the absence of loads. That sounds the most appropriate. A closer look through... Continue Reading →
DAY 143 We live our lives occupied by many many thoughts: what to eat or wear, where to lay our heads, how to provide for those over whom we are in charge. Beyond this, we are concerned with how to make impact: in our community and in the world, how to keep our faith, improve... Continue Reading →
DAY 56 We read another interesting encounter between Jesus and the Pharisees who expressed concerns that Jesus was mingling with the wrong kind of people, namely sinners and tax collectors. To this Jesus responded: “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but... Continue Reading →
