Scripture focus: Jeremiah 29:13 I recently walked into a bookshop in search of a book that would speak to me. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted at that point but I knew that I would know it when I see it. So I scanned and scanned and saw a few titles that brought me back […]
I once was young and now I am old, but I have not seen a righteous person forsaken or his descendants begging for bread. Psalms 37:25 ‘Encourage’ and ‘exhort’ are two words we are familiar with in our Christian walk. I’m all for encouraging and being there for each other whether it’s in fellowship, […]
THE GOLDEN HOUR: Your ever dependable alarm goes off. What’s your most likely response? Is it: A. “Arghh!!” As you hit the snooze button several times to a point where you know it’s plain ridiculous. Or: B. “This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it”; as […]

Scripture Focus: Matthew 6:34: Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Ecclesiastes 9:11: I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the learned; but […]
