It is so amazing how Elisha had no fear even when an army came to capture him. It’s amazing how he trusted God and how he trusted that God was with him. He told his servant not to be afraid because those who are with us are more than those who are with them….
One common lesson which I have come across several times from the word and the testimonies of others is that we need God (John 15:5; Philippians 4:19; Philippians 4:13). And one thing I have learnt is that when something is repeated a lot, it’s important. We need to come to that place of realization…
When you read the old testament, you can see a pattern happening between God and His people. God’s people sin against Him and they become oppressed by other nations because God is no longer with them. They then cry out to Him, and He is utterly merciful to a people who have previously disrespected…
There have been a lot of waiting. We are waiting now for the return of Jesus for an unknown amount of time. God’s people waited for hundreds of years for Jesus to first come. Israel waited generations to enter into the promised land. But there is so much blessing in waiting. Isaiah tells us…
Our God is good. He is merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, and He is forgiving (Exodus 34:6). Our God is just and wants good for us. The Bible tells us of the blessings He had for Israel if they obeyed Him. But even when they disobeyed Him, turned…

Ezekiel 16 is such an intricate piece of writing which contains so much meaning. When you meditate on it, it stirs the heart to feel a small bit of what God feels when His people are unfaithful to Him. Ezekiel 16:3-5 Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of…
Sometimes we ask hard questions about what God is doing. We ask why suffering happens, why do children die, why was there so much violence and slaughter at the hand of God’s people in the old testament. I have come to realize that we may never completely understand this infinite God as we are…
Context In this blog, I will be focusing on an excerpt from Deuteronomy 4. This excerpt is Deuteronomy 4:32-40. To give some context; this is Moses speaking to the children of Israel just before they entered the promised land. By this time, the children of Israel would have seen God do miraculous things, they…
He called Us to Trust Him The first thing that God asked of man required him to trust. In the beginning, God created the world and everything in it. God told them that they should not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. He even told them why (Genesis 1:16-17). But…
