When I think of all the things to do I feel overwhelmed and often blue I pray for guidance and ask for aid God gently answers, “Don’t be afraid” He fills my thoughts with a propitious sign And with this vision, fresh ideas shine These new ideas soon give me hope God always shows me … Continue reading A Reflection of my Thoughts

So here's an introduction of my menagerie.
The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in. Every time I read this, and I’ve lost count how many times I have read this in my life, I’d often wondered how he fed the animals, not so much those that … Continue reading Reflections on Genesis 7:16
So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out God gave Noah specific instructions on how to build an Ark as well as how to stock it and who and what to bring. Noah was lucky as he knew what was to come, so … Continue reading Reflections on Genesis 6:14
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you When I read Matthew 5:44, I struggled with this. The idea of loving your enemies, I find extremely challenging because of my own past. With years of being bullied, as well as by members of my own family, but also other … Continue reading Reflections on Matthew 5:44
"All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”I find this interesting. What it brings to mind are the money making schemes in the modern world. How many times have you seen an Ad whilst watching YouTube, and in that Ad, some so-called rich guy is standing in … Continue reading Reflections on Matthew 4:9
His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. When I read this verse, Revelations comes to mind. Too many to mention, but a list can be found here (amongst verses from other books of the … Continue reading Reflections on Matthew 3:12
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt Joseph had a total of 4 dreams from the angel of the Lord, the first was to accept Mary as his wife, because she was pregnant with the son of God (Matthew 1:20-21), 2 were warnings (Matthew 2:13, 22) … Continue reading Reflections on Matthew 2:19
and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah I find it interesting that we see the genealogy in Matthew of Joseph’s descendents, when Jesus is the Son of God born through the Holy Spirit. It wasn’t until I researched further and … Continue reading Reflections on Matthew 1:16
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. I found this verse intriguing. All the other generations mentioned lived for more than double, some even triple the length of time Enoch lived, and yet because Enoch walked with God, his life was much shorter. I needed to research … Continue reading Reflections on Genesis 5:24
But on Cain and his offering he did not look with favour. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast This particular verse stands out to me for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that I used to question why Cain’s sacrifice wasn’t as favourable as Abel’s. But having been in … Continue reading Reflections on Genesis 4:5
“After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.” As often as I’ve read Genesis in my lifetime, it’s only just occurred to me that the Garden of Eden … Continue reading Reflections on Genesis 3:24
