16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea. 17 Was I fickle when I intended to do this? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the … Continue reading The Certainty of God’s Promises
Past couple days, I changed my routines up a bit. Instead of watching shows vie media providers and working (household chores, etc.) through timed periods, I've been working instead whilst listening to Audible, most notably, Lee Child's Jack Reacher books in place of using the timer. In fact, I just recently finished the book Echo … Continue reading The resting mind and outside influences on it.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. For the most part, I get the gist of this and I know it’s more about educating the masses about God, but this particular verse still confuses me a little, so I looked up the additional comments in the NLT … Continue reading Reflection on Matthew 9:38
He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. Matthew chapter 8 holds many stories of healing, the leper, the Centurion's servant, the demon possessed men, but what often strikes me is Jesus' power to calm the … Continue reading Reflections on Matthew 8:26
‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.’ I’m reminded of modern-day Evangelists, where many will preach the gospel with one hand, but then reach out their other hand to ask for money. In the past, I’ve been annoyed with Evangelists that say things like, … Continue reading Reflections on Matthew 7:15
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. I struggled with picking a specific verse to reflect on out of Matthew 6. So many of the verses hit close to home, and so many thoughts around my own life, where I’m going wrong, … Continue reading Reflections on Matthew 6:34
The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan. The NLT Illustrated Study Bible explains: The people descended from Ham’s four sons (Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Canaanites) were Israel’s most hostile neighbours. Ham’s descendants were excluded from the blessing of Shem’s line. I find it interesting that initially Noah was God’s favourite (at that time), but … Continue reading Reflection on Genesis 10:6
he said, "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.”’ I have often been confused as to why Canaan was cursed when it was his father that was in the wrong, and had to look up the notes in the NLT Illustrated Study Bible to explain it to me, which … Continue reading Reflection on Genesis 9:25
“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” For as long as I can remember, growing up, I’d had a panic attack every single time I heard of an asteroid or meteor heading in Earth’s direction. With the Earth being round and … Continue reading Reflection on Genesis 8:22
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
