14 The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field;on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. - Genesis 3:14 This verse has me puzzling over one thing. When we read about the snake in the garden, everyone … Continue reading The Serpent’s Curse: A Dive into Genesis 3:14
6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” Genesis is my most favourite book of the bible and I've read it through hundreds of times. The Creation story … Continue reading Exploring the Mystery of Water Above the Sky
4 They travelled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea,[c] to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; 5 they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is … Continue reading The Parallels of the Bronze Snake and Jesus’ Sacrifice
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
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

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 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
