Often times our perspective on things is very limited. We see things from our perspective and from our viewpoint. It reminds me of a tree. We may see the beauty of the tree, the branches and the beautiful shade it provides. What we don’t see is how that tree works and grows and the root…

AT HIS FEET ‘Down at your feet oh Lord, is the most high place.’ This is a line from a song. It is special to me because it captures something of what God wants us to realize. Prayer is just coming to the feet of the One who understands. It is a place of humility. It is a place…

OUR FATHER God is our Father. As with our earthly fathers, we should be able to communicate with ease. He wants us to come and talk to Him and He is waiting just to listen to us speaking to Him. Jesus taught us to pray to Our Father. Luke 11:2 So He said to them, “When you…

Some things in life we complicate. It often seems that the simple things in life become so complicated that we simply don’t do them. Prayer is one of those things. For many reasons we complicate the issue of prayer. The result is we end up excluding prayer from our lives, when in effect it is a very simple…

LIVING IN THE LIGHT The effect of having the light of God in our lives should be visible. You can’t hide a candle in a dark room. Ephesians 5:8-9 Live as children of light  (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)  (NIV) As a result of the light of…

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SOURCE OF LIGHT The Holy Spirit wants to bring the light into our lives. He wants to give us fullness of joy. Have you ever experienced your electricity going off and having to find a candle or the electrical switch box in the total darkness? It is interesting to see that under such…

We all desire to know the light of God in our lives. We all need to know what it means to have sunshine. Light is one of the basic components of life, which we cannot do without. It is the same with our souls. We need light in our lives, light in our hearts and light in our souls. It…

A BLESSING FOR FOLLOWING GOD There is a blessing in store for those who faithfully follow God. I know many people who have faithfully followed God over many years and through many seasons and I want to encourage you and remind you of God’s blessing. Psalm 37:25 I have been young and now I am…

EXPECTATION We need to be expectant. We need to expect God’s blessing on our lives. Sometimes we are hoping our ‘ship will come in’ or that we will win some competition and have instant success. We need to shift our expectation in God’s direction. This is what faith is all about. Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait silently for…
