Psalm 107 says this concerning the children of Israel:

"They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits' end. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord ..." (Psalm 107:27-31 NIV)

The people were reeling and staggering under their load. Where and how are we going to find God in the midst of all the noise? But the children of Israel cried out to the Lord in the midst of their distress and God saved them.

The storms of life will always compete with our need to hear God’s voice when we need Him. If your life has more storms than stillness, perhaps the Lord is speaking to you too. He has not left you, He is waiting for you to cry out and He will show himself. He will calm the storm and guide you to your desired haven.

Let's pray,

Father, let your peace fill our hearts today.
In Jesus Name

God bless and thank you for visiting.

Launch of Blog - "Treasures in Darkness"

Treasures in Darkness Today, I am launching my new blog - 'Treasures in Darkness." Praise God for technology! God gives us the desires of our hearts. The blog is an open door of opportunities towards making a dream come true. Blogging is an opportunity to start writing! I feel like I own a million dollars. God is exceedingly good! " And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness - secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord God of Israel, the God who calls you by name'" (Isaiah 45:3). The world is full of treasures that are buried or hidden until it is discovered! When we face loss, pain and disappointment, God desires that we find the valuable lessons hidden in our times of affliction. It is all very well when our days are full of sunshine and the blessings of God are so evident. But the treasures in times of affliction are not easy to see. Our hearts must have eyes to seek Him in the darkness of our suffering - and...

The courage of love

Against the dark background of much despair, the message of Easter, of the resurrection brings to us a bright light of hope. It is a message about the courage of love that sets the Christian faith apart from all other beliefs. It is about a loving God who relentlessly pursues us (Ezekiel 34:12) despite the sin in our lives. During our reflection time at work this week – I was led to read the following scripture: Jesus said to [Martha] “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die" (John 11:25-16). Sometimes we don’t think much about the daily acts of courage as we live out our Christian values. It takes courage to speak God's Word in places where you know there are unbelievers who are resistant to the message of he Gospel. I believe this is no time to be satisfied with the status quo in our lives. We should take every opportunity that come and turn them ...

It’s A New Season!

It’s A New Season - and Moving Right Along... ”I worship you I worship You The reason I live is to worship You!” I thank God for my journey and for bringing me to a new milestone, a new era of my life, WOW! Glory be to God! I celebrated my 70th birthday a week ago with my family and it was a lovely beautiful time. I thank God that I got to celebrate this milestone with the people I love the most; that Corvus 19 lock down happened while we’re all together as a family. I’m ever so grateful to you Lord! And now, moving on to face this age thing “head on”. The world talks a lot about 70 being the new 60, 50 being the new 40 and so on. Whatever that mean, I think for me it is time to call a “spade a spade”. What does turning 70 mean for me? Is it time to give up on living life like I used to? Is it time to lose interest in the things that I have ...
