Living Right

I have the privilege of being in contact with many people. I also get to meet many people from different walks of life on a daily basis. Added to this I get to hear a lot of queries regarding the bible. from various quarters. We human beings have not changed. Since the days of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden we are still questioning the authenticity of what God said. Someone said that wisdom begins with doubt, but I beg to differ. What wisdom is there in doubting what God has said? Well that is only if you believe He is God. Reading the bible has strengthened my resolve of the greatness of God, the majesty of His Power, the infiniteness of His wisdom; and the unwavering faithfulness of His covenant.

Those who are following this blog know that we are on a 90 day adventure to read the entire bible from Genesis to Revelation. We are currently in Leviticus where do and don'ts are the norm. One of the greatest issues of Christianity today is holiness. How do we define holy living? Is it by laws or by just grace? Is holiness a thing of the heart or a legal view point to abide by? Can we quantify holiness? As I think about Leviticus am struck by how much God wants us to live right. Living right will open the doors for right living. Now that is holiness I think.

When I think of the standards of the world today I realise that living right is not an easy option. The one consolation I have today is that God is able to help me live right. Leviticus is a challenge to commitment. To keep all the laws required commitment. I have been challenged to check my commitment towards living right for my life to turn out right.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than

Dont Go Back to Egypt

Day 207 Reading: Jeremiah 42:1 - Jeremiah 45:5 When life's blows strike us our response matters more than we realise. Many believers today are in a place of bewilderment because life has dealt blows that have knocked the wind out of them. As a result, many are questioning whether God is still God. Reading the Book of Jeremiah I have been encouraged to trust in God at all times.  The remnant children of Israel upon seeing the King of Babylon conquer them asked Jeremiah to seek the mind of God regarding their desire to go to Egypt. The same pattern of thinking that their forefathers had in saying let's go back to Egypt was on display generations after. Many people don't realise the importance of right thinking. God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, to desire to go there for safety is a smack to God in the face! When faced with trouble don't allow the thinking of God helps those who help themselves send you to Egypt. It's a death trap! Man
