Phi 4v19 – The GAP

The gap, it’s the worst thing. The gap between problem and solution. The gap between the known and the unknown. The gap between today and tomorrow. In life, there is always some gap that we stand at the edge of. Will they get well? Where will the money come from? Will I be safe? Will… Continue reading Phi 4v19 – The GAP

1Co 4v20 – Do you really believe?

I recently listened to a well-known podcast speaker explaining why he never wanted to claim to believe in God because believing means acting. He felt he could never act and live like belief in God requires, and only Jesus could truly claim belief. At one level, what he said is correct. Claiming to believe something… Continue reading 1Co 4v20 – Do you really believe?

Acts 1v11 – Leaving the dogs

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

Matt 24v35 – Will the sun rise?

Every night I am overcome with a great fear. Will the sun show up tomorrow? Yes, I know the sun has risen without fail every single day of my life, but I’m still anxious that maybe it won’t rise tomorrow. And if there are clouds, how do I know the sun is really still there?… Continue reading Matt 24v35 – Will the sun rise?

Eph 5v14 – Dream World

For my son to participate in the university’s program, we must crawl through a narrow space. “This is crazy”, I think as we slither on our bellies. I awake. It’s a silly dream. Dream worlds are informed by our waking world, but why do we have to obey our waking world’s rules? I could have… Continue reading Eph 5v14 – Dream World

Phi 4v19 – Never disappointed

We all know that familiar feeling of excitement you get a couple of days before you go on a holiday. The anxious countdown where you can’t wait to just escape for a couple of days. As we headed deep into the mountains to a secluded cabin, that feeling dissipated as rain began to pour down… Continue reading Phi 4v19 – Never disappointed

Psa 13v5-6 – No reply

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

Isa 42v16 – Worn path

I was walking between our house and my daughter and son-in-law’s house, which is nearby, and I noticed how there is a worn path in the grass marking the route we all seem to take. Typically the reason for a worn path is because this is the shortest and easiest route between two points. As… Continue reading Isa 42v16 – Worn path

Mat 6v26 – Unfettered and free

We recently visited an eco cabin in the mountains where birds were abundant. They were very playful and comfortable with our presence. As soon as we sat down on the deck, the birds would perch nearby, looking for food. A huge storm was brewing, and I wondered where the birds would go to shelter from… Continue reading Mat 6v26 – Unfettered and free

Luk 5v16 – Dangerous Vibrations

Some years ago, I watched in awe and trepidation as Nik Wallenda stepped out onto a thin wire stretched across the Grand Canyon with no safety devices. Nik became the first person to complete the 457-meter walk across the Grand Canyon. With strong winds and dangerous cable vibrations, there were some heart-stopping moments, especially when… Continue reading Luk 5v16 – Dangerous Vibrations
