How good are you at arriving on time? Or completing a job on time? Some people are better than others. But what about God? Is he precise in his timing? “In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will… Continue reading Act 17v30-31 – To the very day
Are you waiting for something from God? As humans, we are generally not very good at waiting. We read Bible stories that, within a few verses or chapters, talk about a prayer and a response. However, often the gap is months or even years apart. Abraham and Sarah waited 25 years for God to answer… Continue reading Psa 37v7 – Still as stone
Do you sometimes pray and pray, and God doesn’t seem to hear? It would be amazing if we could peek into Heaven and see if God is actually listening. Daniel saw something that troubled him so much that he fasted and prayed for three weeks. No answer. But then we get a glimpse into heaven… Continue reading Dan 10v12 – God already heard you
Why do things go wrong in life? When one issue after another arises, we can find it difficult. In the story of Joseph, as a young boy, his brothers sell him as a slave. He serves a master who likes him, only to have his master’s wife lie about him, so he’s thrown in prison.… Continue reading Psa 105v17-19 – Testing of character
I’m not very good at waiting. There’s a certain acceptable time, and then the waiting should be over. But while we might get exasperated with waiting for the ordinary things of life, what about waiting for God? We have asked God to help us – we have prayed for something, and still, we are waiting.… Continue reading Psa 27v14 – The waiting gap
We recently left our two small dogs behind when our family went on an extended trip. While we knew the date we would return, the dogs had no idea. As the days became weeks, they may have thought we would never return. However, the date was set and slowly but surely, the day drew closer.… Continue reading Acts 1v11 – Leaving the dogs
“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
Recently someone I know unexpectedly lost their dog. It was really devastating as the bond between master and dog was remarkable. They loved each other and had been inseparable for many years. Whenever the master left, the dog would wait for his return and joyfully welcome him back. The dog showed the selfless commitment that… Continue reading Pro 18v24 – The faithful friend
Have you experienced being “blue ticked”? It’s when you send someone a message on WhatsApp, and it gets two blue ticks that indicate it has been delivered and read, but there is no reply. It can be really frustrating if you are waiting for an answer. It feels like the person is simply ignoring you… Continue reading Psa 13v5-6 – No reply
