HE CHANGES NOT

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 →

WHEN THINGS PASS BY

DAY 323 Luke 18:37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” Opportunities have their validity period. These represent timelines within which choices or actions have to be taken for their maximum effect to be registered. Otherwise, those missed timelines become seasons of missed opportunities, and it will take the mercy of God, for... Continue Reading →

THE MAN BEHIND THE WORKS

DAY 279 Luke 10:13, Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 'Mighty works' are indeed a sermon in themselves, for they carry in the the potential... Continue Reading →

POWER VRS AUTHORITY

DAY 270 Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. We might find it strange that Jesus conferred both power and authority when he sent out the twelve, but that was the only way to ensure they excelled. Think about this:... Continue Reading →

What would have been the use of knowing what David did when men were in a new era and... Continue Reading →

EXCEPTIONS ARE NOT THE RULE

DAY 188 Genesis 27:1 Now it came about, when Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called his older son Esau and said to him, “My son.” And he said to him, “Here I am We often create associations between things, and one of the more common lines we... Continue Reading →

IT’S TIME TO TRANSITION

DAY 61 Esther 4:12 Ever since I was born I have heard in the tribe of my family that thou, O Lord, didst take Israel out of all the nations, and our fathers from among all their ancestors, for an everlasting inheritance, and that thou didst do for them all that thou didst promise. In... Continue Reading →

SEASONS COME WITH NOTICES

DAY 46 Genesis 8:22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Personally, I do not like the cold and so would wish that we skipped that season of the year entirely. My ideal annual cycle would be spring, summer, autumn, then back... Continue Reading →

PROXIMITY IS NOT ENOUGH

DAY 18 Mark 3:4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. We are informed of a man with a withered hand sitting in the synagogue. It would be strange if this account... Continue Reading →
