https://odb.org/2024/11/08/gods-timing-2 Do we need to pray and seek God in all that we do, including going on a vacation? No, not really. But it is prudent to do so. It could be a part of our daily communication with Him where if we could, we would like to share as much as possible with Him.Continue reading “Timing of God”

Esau and Jacob
https://odb.org/2024/10/28/getting-rid-of-baggage The forgiveness by Esau of the cunning but changed Jacob is one of the highlights of the book of Genesis and serves as an example of what God expects from us as His children when it comes to our own forgiveness of others. Jacob committed two major “transgressions” against Esau. The first is buyingContinue reading “Esau and Jacob”
Born again
https://odb.org/2024/10/27/born-again John 3:5-6 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

https://odb.org/2024/10/25/whale-watching While it is generally true that if we do not respond to God’s calling, He will choose or call someone else to do the work.

Thus, when Saul didn’t meet the LORD’s expectations, He raisedContinue reading “Running away from God”

Actually, there is nothing wrong with such an approach to fasting except that at the same time, they ignored the needs ofContinue reading “Feed the hungry”

On the 50th day, it was the Jewish festival of Pentecost, which celebrates the giving of the Torah to Moses at Mount Sinai.

Transformed from the inside
https://odb.org/2024/10/22/transformed-from-the-inside One of the struggles faced by any believer, I believe, is the desire to be true to God from the inside. The journey of transformation may go this way. We conform on the outside but remain carnal and selfish on the inside. People can only deduce who we are from our external self, likeContinue reading “Transformed from the inside”
