They are faithful and will love us fully. Of course we need to feed them and shower them but there is something about a pet’s love that isContinue reading “Unfailing Love”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/19/when-you-cant-go-on If a situation arises when it looked like it is impossible to go on, know that as we seek out the Lord, He will help us through that seemingly impossible to go on situation. Perhaps God allowed that situation for a reason, perhaps to strengthen our faith or the faith of the people aroundContinue reading “Compassion of God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/18/its-broken No doubt we are broken one way or another by what we had gone through in life. Our failures, disappointments, tragic events, betrayals or u-turns by colleagues, family, friends or special friends even spouses. No doubt too that as we come to Jesus we are reconciled to the Father and He heals our brokenness,Continue reading “Incomparable Riches of His Grace”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/17/accepted-and-approved I think this issue of acceptance and approval by our fathers (or mothers) is probably more prevalent than we think. I never had this issue with my own father. Although he didn’t praise me much when I was growing up, I never had that feeling that whatever I did was not good enough forContinue reading “Acceptance By Our Fathers”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/16/fishing-with-jesus When I read Jesus’s early encounters with Simon Peter in Luke 5, two elements stand out for me. One is that as experienced and skillful Simon Peter is as a fisherman, Jesus was still better at identifying the right timing and fishing spot to lay out the nets! Simon Peter tried all night butContinue reading “What’s Our True Calling?”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/15/let-me-stay As I read Psalm 27, one of the key takeaways I get is that there is nothing to fear if we have God and the thing which David desires most is to spend all the days of his life dwelling in the house of the LORD. In the present context that means spending timeContinue reading “Presence of God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/13/nothing-can-separate The logic of Romans 8 is that if God had gone through so much trouble, to the extent of giving up His Son for us, for Him to love us, what then will stop His love for us? What then can separate the love of God from us? Who then can condemn us? GodContinue reading “Love of God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/12/nature-walk An oft repeated theme in ODB is this thing about creation and its creator. As we look at creation, we cannot avoid seeing God in the picture. Scripture also bears testimony to the greatness of God in this respect. As we can see in the book Job, the LORD described how He had setContinue reading “Creation and God”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/11/good-news-3 I first read about the Good News when I stumbled upon a Malay-English translation of the New Testament in my home library when I was very young. It was one of those books I first read when I started to know how to read in Std 2 to 3. It pinged my interest andContinue reading “Good News”

https://odb.org/MY/2021/11/10/youre-not-alone-2 As much as we are zealous for God, on fire for the business of the Kingdom, we might feel we are all alone in our quest for Christ. We feel we are alone maybe because our friends are not like-minded like us or even our church or cell members are all more nominal thanContinue reading “A Remnant”
