Life is unpredictable, and so are the challenges that come with it. It is important to remember, in these difficult times, that God is an anchor for our souls. He is there to keep us grounded, and he will not let us drift away. In Hebrews 6:18-20, Paul writes, “… we who have fled to… Continue reading Heb 6v19 – Anchor for our soul
Roof Top Tents are an amazing invention for camping. When out in the wilds, you are perched high and away from the dust, slithering critters, hungry lions and other beasts. However, while being perched up high is great, there is also an issue – you are more exposed to the onslaught of the elements. Recently,… Continue reading Jer 51v16 – Windy!
Awakening in the dark to find water knee-deep around your bed is very scary. With torrential rain outside, no way of escape and the possibility of the river bursting its banks, there is real danger. I sit with an emergency lamp on, watching the water slowly rising and listening to the downpour. Fear, despair, and… Continue reading Mat 8v24 – Sleeping in a storm
“Wake up. There’s water everywhere.” As I sit here typing this, I am in my bed. There is about 30cm of water all around us. Outside, the rain is pouring. We have evacuated some guests who were staying in cottages next door upstairs to our loft. We have no way out. Our access is flooded,… Continue reading Mat 28v20 – The Flood!
“Friends…We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them.” (Acts 14:15). This wonderful message shared two thousand years ago is as true and as needed today as it was then. It’s an invitation… Continue reading Act 14v15 – Good News Day

In her embrace, they are calm and absolutely content. The peace and satisfaction are immediate. When David compares… Continue reading Psa 131v2-3 – Like a baby
Don’t you love the feeling of unwrapping something you have been looking forward to for a long time? Recently, for me, it was a new laptop. After years of enduring my old and somewhat cantankerous machine, I was finally given a new laptop. However, within days of receiving it, the screen malfunctioned. Frustratingly, I turned… Continue reading 1Th 5v18 – Gratitude
Three values that guide my life are faith, family, and freedom. While not all choose faith, and many prioritise finance or fame over family, most value freedom. Yet, can ultimate freedom exist without faith? You have the freedom to strum the strings of a guitar in any way you like, but this doesn’t mean you… Continue reading 2Co3v17 – Finding Freedom
The other day, I had to drive from Franschhoek to Cape Town. I had a meeting at 8 a.m., and I naively thought I could make the drive in 1 hour and 15 min. But there was something I forgot to consider: Traffic, Cape Town Traffic! I watched in despair as my estimated arrival time… Continue reading Psa 37v8 – Be Still
How are you feeling Today? Stressed, tired, overwhelmed? Too much to do and too little time to do it? Anxious about your finances and the future? Worrying about the state of your country? Or do you start the day with a heart full of joy and peace? A heart at rest. If not, you are… Continue reading Psa 118v24 – Rest in this
