Gen 9v13 – The Glory

Billboards convey messages in big, bold and unmissable ways. However, long before humans made billboards, God created the first gigantic billboard stretching across heaven. After destroying nearly everyone on earth because of their sinfulness, God said, “I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me… Continue reading Gen 9v13 – The Glory

Isa 9v6 – In our world

In our world, where hope is lost Where faith is gone and lives forlorn  Unto us, a child is born. In our world, where people hurt Where dreams are broken, and hopes are riven Unto us, a son is given. In our world, where rulers fail Where peace is lost, and wars do smoulder The… Continue reading Isa 9v6 – In our world

Oba 1v4 – Crashing eagles

I recently watched a movie about Elvis, the “King of Rock and Roll”. His ability to sing everything from ballads to gospel to rock and roll was amazing. Yet sadly, he soon fell victim to his fame and the desires of those around him to make money. Drugs, excess, and an unhealthy lifestyle resulted in… Continue reading Oba 1v4 – Crashing eagles

1Jo 2:17 – Fading away

It’s grey and dark when we board the plane. Thick storm clouds obscure the midday sun. As the plane takes off and we climb through the clouds, the cars and buildings quickly fade away and vanish.

Mal 4:2 – The sunrise

We wake up and look at the time. If we go now we can get to the beach in time to watch the sunrise over the ocean. There’s always something special about a morning sunrise. Each sunrise is a unique piece of art, as God takes out his palette of morning colors and splashes it… Continue reading Mal 4:2 – The sunrise

Phi 3:20-21 – Where are you from?

We are driving along a remote Namibian road when we are stopped by a police officer. After asking for my license, he says, “I am Plaajies from Kietmanshoop”. I am flummoxed for a moment and then reply with my name and home town. It’s unusual to get a greeting like this from a police officer.… Continue reading Phi 3:20-21 – Where are you from?

Eph 3:20-21 – Awesome

“Mind blowing”. “Awesome”. “Wow”. 🤩 – Words or emojis, these are what we use when we see something truly incredible, like an amazing sunset, or a night sky sparkling with a million diamonds. Now imagine a scene even more awesome than that. That’s God. Awesome in the real sense of the word. And that’s what… Continue reading Eph 3:20-21 – Awesome
