I have an exciting verse to share with you today from Proverbs 20:27: “The spirit of man is the lamp of God, searching all his innermost parts.” Some versions refer to “the breath of man.” This implies every breath you take is God’s light in your conscience, your moral compass. You can choose to brighten… Continue reading Pro 20v27 – Breathing God
We can be confused about many things in our walk as God’s children. But if the thing I seek most is to experience the gift of God’s eternal life, what should I do? Jesus made it very clear what is required for eternal life. “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only… Continue reading Joh17v3 – The key to eternal life
When you think of God’s Kingdom, do you think of a place in the future or an experience now in your life? The word “kingdom” in the New Testament is the Greek word “basileia” and it is a verb, not a noun, that means to rule or reign. When Jesus shared the Good News of… Continue reading Rom 14v17 – God’s Kingdom
Life often feels like a circle – Monday to Sunday, back to Monday. Repeat. Solomon lamented about the meaningless of it all, saying, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). However, life is not really a circle as the… Continue reading 2Ki2v11 Whirlpool or Whirlwind
There is an extraordinary tumbleweed plant that blows across the desert. Called the resurrection plant, it may have been dead for 100 years until one day, it blows into a puddle of water.

But there was more – a free night’s accommodation. And then there was more. Watching our sports team beat their… Continue reading 1Co 15v57 – Winning
I remember a really good sportsman being asked why he was so good. He replied, “It takes two things. Lots of dedication, but more importantly, choosing the right parents.” He was jokingly referring to how he was lucky to have inherited good sports genes from his parents. We all inherit characteristics from our parents. However,… Continue reading 1Co 15v22 – Choosing your ancestors
Isn’t it fascinating how flying brings a unique perspective? No matter the weather below, it’s always sunny above the clouds. It is like the saying, “There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.” Life isn’t always a ‘sunny ride’ and doesn’t always go according to our plan. However, it’s important to remember that… Continue reading Joh 8v12 – The light
“When will we be there?” This was a common question our kids would ask when they were younger whenever we travelled anywhere. Most times, our answer would satisfy them. However, there was one time when the answer confounded them – in a game reserve. In a game reserve, although we were still driving, the answer… Continue reading Eph 3v19 – When will we be there?
Wow, look up above. Where? There, it’s a Pel’s Fishing Owl. After much frantic searching with the binoculars, the bird is found. There’s great excitement. This is one of those lifers (bird speak for the first time you see it) that is rare. While many might think it crazy to see birders getting their feathers… Continue reading Mat 13v45-46 – Searching for birds
