242/365 1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

IN DUE SEASON
241/365 Psalms 145:15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. We each enter into different seasons of life at every turn, and as God told Noah, 'while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease (Gen...

GET YOURSELF READY
241/365 Jeremiah 1:17 But you, Jeremiah, get yourself ready! Go and tell these people everything I instruct you to say. Do not be terrified of them, or I will give you good reason to be terrified of them. God could have told Jeremiah: 'get up and let's go'. Why does He even bother telling him... Continue Reading →
HUMILITY
240/365 You can draw a straight line between humility and honour. The alternative combination is the line between pride and dishonour. For any person therefore, it is necessary to determine which combination is at work in their life. Regardless, one preamble leads the way 'pride is not desired'.

YOU HAVE BEEN WEIGHED
239/365 Reference text: Matthew 25:14-30 The man travelling to another land called his servants and delivered unto them 'his goods' (vs 14).

KNOWING VS WORKING WITH KNOWLEDGE
237/365 Matthew 24:43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(A) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. We get letters every now and then in the post or via email, whether they are statements... Continue Reading →
HOW DO YOU KNOW ME?
236/365 John 1:48 How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.” We see the face of a confused Nathaniel who asked Jesus in the Gospel of today a rather simple question 'How do you know me? Within the pages... Continue Reading →
THE PERFECT FILTER
235/365 Matthew 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. We live life looking through the scope of many lenses. The lens of education, society, the environment, or even our peers. What is common to all these reference points is the fact that they are all subjective.Thus depending on which... Continue Reading →
