I currently have the privilege of attending a bible study where we are listening to the teachings of Roger Price, a late bible teacher from England. Now for the next month I would like to discuss one of the topics that he explained to us. It stood out for me and I would like to […]
This is the beginning of a new year, 2012 and what a privilege it is to be able to experience it. What a privilege to experience life! God has wonderful things planned for us for this year and we can all wait in anticipation of it! God wants to lead us all into the special […]
I had another devotion planned for this week, but the Lord intervened. He took me back a year ago to the devotion I wrote on Christmas 2010 and He told me He wanted me to post it again as He wanted this message to get across to you again. So here it is, may it […]
I read the most interesting verse the other day. It was about the journey of the Israelites in the Wilderness and how they complained and complained to God the whole time. How they moaned and groaned until He gave them what they asked for. Psalm 106:13 – 15 “Yet how quickly they forgot what He […]
Last night I once again experienced how great our God is! He is awesome and the Creator of the Universe, but what struck me last night was that He was also concerned about the small things in our lives. What happened was my son was sick. He was okay throughout the day and at night […]
I lay awake last night due to one of my boys being sick. At 03:30 I got him to sleep and I went back to my bed. I tried to fall asleep and right before I did I heard a car coming down the street. The car had a very loud engine, louder than normal […]
The other day I was at a coffee shop with a lovely kiddies play area. My two sons were playing while I was keeping an eye on them. I noticed then that my two year old went over to one of the other kids playing there. He gently took him by the hand and he […]
These days my two boys argue about who will pray before we eat our dinner, so we let them both pray. The two year old prays in his own language, the only audible words are ‘helicopter’ and ‘tate’, which means aero plane (both my boys love anything that flies), but luckily the Lord understands what […]
I get together a lot with friends and then we each bring something to eat and enjoy the time together. Now obviously there are always very delectable things to eat. I need to restrain myself, because I realize that I don’t feel so good if I eat the wrong food. I do eat some of […]
This morning I went for a walk in the Estate where we live. We have lovely parks with some of the natural vegetation left by the developers. Now this morning I saw amongst the thorn trees a small deer. It was the most lovely thing in the early morning sun. I was so excited and […]
I was reading through the Gospel of Matthew this morning and there was something that amazed me. I read how Jesus provided food for five thousand men with merely five loaves of bread and two fish. Now that is amazing and wonderful in itself, but it was not what caught my attention this morning. What […]
Last week we went to a restaurant for lunch. I had a coffee shake to drink and I enjoyed it immensely. But when we got home, we all went to bed for a nice Sunday afternoon nap. Now I don’t get a lot of those with my two small boys, so this nap was very […]
I spoke last week of making a difference in someone’s life, of helping someone to put them on the right path for their lives. It requires a bit of effort on your side, it requires time, but it is more than worth it. You have helped someone to make something with their lives, instead of […]
This morning I heard the following song: “If we are the Body, why aren’t His arms reaching, why aren’t His hands healing, why aren’t His Words teaching? If we are the Body why aren’t His feet going, why is His love not showing them there is a way? Jesus paid much too high a price […]
Last week we looked at the numerical value of Jesus of Nazareth as well as the numerical value of satan and it was exactly the same. Jesus became like satan on the cross, He became like the ancient serpent. How is that possible you might ask? Let’s look at Numbers 21:7-9. The Israelites sinned against […]
The Word of God is full of hidden treasures and that makes it even more exciting to read. There is always something new to be discovered and unveiled. I would like to share one thing that I discovered which was very interesting to me and I am sure it would be for you too. This […]
As part of the theme ‘struggling is good for you’ I would like to add one more thing. 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. […]
Last week we used the illustration of a moth struggling to get out of its cocoon. A well meaning environmentalist helped to free him from the cocoon while he was struggling to get out, but in doing that he denied the moth the chance to develop his wings and in the end he caused his […]
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 reading through Acts and one story in particular amazed me. (There are several amazing stories, but I would like to pause with this one for the moment.) This story is about the commitment of Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey. They started in Cyprus and continued towards Turkey as we know […]
