A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 309 1 Thessalonians 2:13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. Our encounters with other men:... Continue Reading →
DAY 287 Luke 11:28 Blessed rather are those who hear those who hear the word and keep it. To be able to keep the word, one must first be in a position to hear it. However, there are dynamics to hearing. Among the many statements Jesus made, one that was fairly common was 'he that... Continue Reading →
DAY 278 Reference text: Nehemiah 8:1-12 Today's text reminded me of the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts chapter 8 who sat in his carriage reading the book of Isaiah. It was to him Philip appeared and asked 'Do you understand what you're reading?' To this he replied 'How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it... Continue Reading →
DAY 259 Luke 6:46 Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? There are many who hear the same words of encouragement or advice all year round and yet at the end of everything, it seems they heard nothing.

While it is presented as a double edged sword, able to divide even bone and marrow, another could... Continue Reading →
DAY 111 Our text today presents a very interesting dynamic. Even though the entire discourse ends with multiplication of the loaves and fish, it is the conversation between Jesus and Philip that sits at the heart of our reflection. This is their dialogue as captured:Jesus turned to Philip and asked “Where can we buy bread... Continue Reading →
DAY 110 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who refused to bow to the king's golden image, were in the first category while the Apostles today, found themselves in the latter category: 'they continued preaching Jesus after they had be strictly charged not to (Acts 5:28)'. Obedience refers to compliance with an instruction or order, often received from... Continue Reading →
DAY 71 Reference text: John 4:5-42 The entrance of your God's word indeed brings light. There are days when some verses of scripture don't appear to make real sense or seem really relatable until another word corroborates. Almost as through scripture complements itself. The Gospel of today is a rather long read, but in short,... Continue Reading →
