I remember learning to ski. After about a week of lessons, we could navigate most easy to intermediate slopes, with nominal skill and little style. Yet seeing small kids also learning with their awkward style and frequent falls made us feel like experts. That is until a week later those same small kids came flying… Continue reading Pro 1:7 – The first step
Nothing! Absolutely nothing! It’s wonderful! That’s how it feels in moments when we can sit in a quiet, secluded place immersed in nature. No one to be seen, just God’s majestic canvas painted in awesome wonder all around us. Before me, he paints the waves in hues of deep blue, dabbing their tops with frothy… Continue reading Rom 1:20 – Absolutely Nothing
The TV is on. There’s chatting in the background. You’re on your laptop. You get a notification on your phone. You’re busy. Our day-to-day life is filled with busyness, noise and distractions. Yet we will say God never speaks to us. We never get that sign that we’re looking for. Why is it that back… Continue reading Psa 46:10 – Be still
“There’s a lovely walk in the forest here.” These are the words that started our unplanned hike. However, it wasn’t long before we were unsure of which way to go. It’s then that I remembered I had an app on my phone that has maps of trails. Using this, we found the way. Further along… Continue reading Pro 3:5-6 – The app

There will be many obstacles. You will… Continue reading Deu 30:19 – The traveller
Manifestation is a word that has come to mean things like “think aspirational thoughts” or “trust in the universe”. However, the word was used in the Bible before our modern cultures put their spin on it. “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good” (1 Corinthians 12:7). This verse speaks… Continue reading 1Co 12:7 – For good
Did you know that the deepest gold mine is 3.84km deep? That’s like a 1000-story building below ground. That’s crazy. Yet even at these incredible depths, we have only penetrated 0.2% of the skin of the earth. This is similar to our experience of God. Sometimes we find a gem of divine wisdom in a… Continue reading Rom 11:33 – God’s mine
What forms are required to apply for the bank loan? What must I do to get approval for my building alteration? Life is full of requirements that must be met and we may seek answers, at some stage, to questions like these. However, what about a far more important question? What does God require of… Continue reading Mic 6:8 – God’s requirement
Vegetables or meat? Blue or Yellow? North or south? Jazz or Rock. Choices. We all have to make choices in life. Some choices are not too important, while others can have life-altering implications. “As for me and my family, we will choose the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). Joshua made this choice, a choice that would impact… Continue reading Jos 24:15 – Choices
