Find encouragement and insight for your walk with God through these devotionals.
The other day I was driving to the shopping mall. Now I wouldn’t say that I drive excessively fast, but sometimes when the road is open I tend to drive faster than the speeding limit. For example in a 60 km/h zone I would drive 80 km/h easily or sometimes even 90km/h. That day I […]
During these past two weeks something dawned on me that I would like to share with you. As I am writing this we are nearing the end of winter. I am so glad that this winter is over. Spring is in the air and I can feel a sense of excitement all around me. The […]
I received a lovely email over the weekend and would like to share it with you. The writer is unknown, but in his/her absence I would like to thank him/her for this wonderful message. A British environmentalist, Alfred Wallace, one day picked up the cocoon of a moth and took it home. After a while […]
I was going through some of my older devotions and I came across this one and I felt like sharing it with you once again. I am sure that you won’t mind as we all need to hear this message again. Let us start with this wonderful passage in John 3:26 – 30 “John’s disciples […]
The Lord wants us to enjoy our lives. He loves us very much, so much so that He came in person to die for our sins, so that we can have eternal life with Him. And that is going to be even greater than anything we can ever imagine or dream! And He wants us […]
I have discussed various ways to look after yourself these past few weeks. We need to look after ourselves as we are the temple of God. We need to portrait His love to the world and if we are tired and worn out, we do not have anything to give. We cannot give what we […]
I truly believe that one of the key ingredients to being truly happy is being content with what you have and who you are. In our society it is also one of the most difficult things to do, as people are taught to always want more than what they have. It is very difficult to […]
The Bible is quite clear on another aspect of our lives and that is that we should strive to attain wisdom. And by striving towards it we also find ourselves in a fortunate position of growing spiritually. And through growing spiritually we discover a wealth of treasures hidden in the Word of God. What an […]
Our houses (our lives) here on earth need to stand firm against all storms. We need to believe in Jesus Christ, we need to work on our relationships the Lord has blessed us with, we need to be God’s Hands and Feet in this world and we need to look after ourselves. We shouldn’t neglect […]
We are currently discussing the ways in making your ‘home’ here on earth steadfast against any storm it may face. We have discussed making Jesus your foundation and your family your bricks and now we are looking at yourself and how you can also influence the strength of your home. We have discussed various things […]
Welcome back. I truly hope that these past two weeks you tried to live more in the present moment. I hope you tried to enjoy your life more and find the good in the phase of life you might find yourself in at the moment. The most amazing thing I found from living in the […]
We are continuing the theme of what is important in our lives. We have looked at our faith and how God should receive the number one position in our lives. We have looked at our family and friends and how important our relationship to them is. And we are now looking at how important it […]
As I have mentioned before, if your foundation (your faith) is rock solid and you built your house with Jesus as the cornerstone and time with your family as your bricks, then you are ready to face any curveball that life can throw at you. At least you know your house will stand. Now looking […]
If your house’s foundation is right (your faith in God), and your cornerstone is right (Jesus Christ), and your bricks are right (quality time with your spouse, children and close family), then you can start living in your house. You will be ready to weather any storm, because your house would be strong enough to […]
We are discussing the bricks in our lives in order to have a fulfilling life, a life that can weather any storm and still come out strong at the other end. God should be our foundation and Jesus Christ our cornerstone. On this foundation and cornerstone we can start building our house. The bricks we […]
The first and most important brick in our lives is the Lord; in fact Jesus has become the cornerstone on which we should build our houses. Our faith should be our foundation, without which our houses won’t be able to stand. He should be our number one and should be our first love. We should […]
It is Ascension day today. Unfortunately a day people easily forget, because it is no longer a Public Holiday. But for us as Christians it is a very important day. Why? Because if Jesus didn’t go back to heaven, we wouldn’t have had the Holy Spirit with us today. And it was at the Mount […]
We are discussing the different things that can occupy your time and with which you build your house (your life). We discussed things that can be regarded as building your house with straw. When you go through a difficult time in your life, these straw that you spent your time on, will not help you […]
Last time I discussed the main stick in our lives, the thing that is more solid than the straw in our lives, but less important than the bricks and that is our work. Our work is important and should be done to the best of our ability. Our work also consumes a lot of our […]
We have discussed the straw in our lives; things that take up time unnecessarily, things that will blow away the minute the storm strikes. Things that the devil wants us occupied with, so that he can come as the wolf and steal our joy and peace, because our houses are not built with solid bricks. […]
