Breathe in. Breathe out. How often do you think about your breathing? Probably not very often, as it is something our body does naturally without us even being conscious of it. However, I recently attended a yoga class, and the entire class was focused on being mindful of our breath and the benefits that come… Continue reading Job 33v4 – The Best Breathing technique
Who did the nation of Israel worship during their 40 years in the wilderness? You might answer Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The great “I Am” God who brought them out of Egypt. Who parted the sea. Who gave them the Ten Commandments. However, that’s not the correct answer. God says –… Continue reading Deu 4v39 – Who is your god?
I might not be able to tell the future, but I know the future, and that has made all the difference. No human being can tell the future, as there is only one who is outside of time, and that is God. He alone knows and determines what happens in the future. “Remember the things… Continue reading Isa 46v9-10 – Know The future
The Book of Job is one of my favourite books in the Bible. The narrative description of the depth of God’s knowledge, the intricacy of his wisdom, and the vastness of his reign leave me in awe every time I read the final chapters. But what really stood out to me this time was the… Continue reading Job 40v8 – It’s God’s fault!
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” (Matthew 5:8). What an amazing blessing from Jesus.

David gives the answer; “Create in me a pure heart, O God,… Continue reading Mat 5v8 – You can see God
Do you know John? Do you know Elon? Do you know Beyoncé? I suppose the answer depends on what we mean by “know”. Is this “know” or “know of”? So, what is your answer to this all-important question – Do you know God? In John 17:3, Jesus said it is “life eternal” to know God.… Continue reading Jer 22v15-17 – Knowing God
Today, more people are atheists, choosing to believe in mankind’s solutions than in God and His promises. I often wonder whether they really know what they are rejecting. Psalm 36 compares a life filled with mankind’s ways to one filled with God. Verses 1-5 describe mankind’s ways. They have no fear of God at all.… Continue reading Psa 36v7 – Two lives
Padre, Vader, uBaba, Far, Apa, Otec. These are all words in different languages that mean the same thing – Father. However, what is interesting is the Hebrew word for father – Ab. The tradition of calling the collection of letters, the alphabet comes originally from Hebrew, where it was called the Aleph Bet, after the… Continue reading Gal 4v6 – Abba Father
I was recently at a shop looking at a book about plants in the area. It struck me how, without thinking of the significance, we have a desire to name and know the names of things. Every human, plant, mammal, bird, insect, street, ocean and even star has a name. If life came from nothing… Continue reading Exo 34v5 – Named
You awake to an absolutely beautiful day. An outdoor adventure is simply irresistible. So, what shall it be? A visit to the Botanical Gardens to soak in the beauty of the plants, or a walk in a nearby nature reserve to marvel at the flowers and trees, or a stroll around the neighbourhood to admire… Continue reading Mat 7v28-29 – God’s flower letter
