One day Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Take these people up to the Promised Land.’ But you haven’t told me whom you will send with me. You have told me, ‘I know you by name, and I look favorably on you.’ If it is true that you look favorably on me,Continue reading “Power of His Presence (Part 3)”

Man was created to have a deep, long-lasting, personal and intimate relationship with God. God initiated this fellowship; it was His idea and desire to spend time with us and this gives Him great pleasure. You can find this picture in the Garden of Eden. When God would often come down in the cool ofContinue reading “Power of His Presence (Part 2)”

“Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you”. Psalms 130: 3-4 (NLT) I remember during the height of the MPs expenses claims scandal of 2009 in which quite a few high-profile MPs and ministers were caught fiddlingContinue reading “Judge and Jury!”

Isn’t it true that sometimes we do not like to be told what to do? We believe we know what is best for us and exactly what we need and how to go about getting it. We sometimes do not see the reason why we need to involve God in some of our plans andContinue reading “Power of His Presence”

It was the harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river’s edge, the water above that point began backing up a great distance away at a town called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And theContinue reading “Do Your Part”

However, the Most High doesn’t live in temples made by human hands. As the prophet says, ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that?’ asks the Lord. ‘Could you build me such a resting place? Didn’t my hands make both heaven and earth?’ ActsContinue reading “Where is God?”

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2:16-17 (NKJV) The serpent … asked the woman, “Did God reallyContinue reading “Is Knowledge Really Power?”

But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!” But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed. “We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are!” So they spread this badContinue reading “How Do You Lead?”

Who has believed our message? To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm? My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected, a man of sorrows, acquaintedContinue reading “What A Sacrifice!”

We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield…for we trust in his holy name. Psalms 33:20-21 (NLT) These days it is so easy to put trust in the things around us – jobs, wealth, medicine, people, power and so on. But when these things fail, where do you go? ItContinue reading “Trust”
