https://odb.org/MY/2022/08/04/the-privilege-of-stewardship We can see from Genesis 1 that as human beings we were supposed to rule over the fish in the sea, the birds that fly and every living creature that moves on the ground. This means that humans were created above all other animals and living creatures and we know that because God createdContinue reading “Stewardship”

In Revelation 8, John actually saw the prayers of the saints togetherContinue reading “Little Things Matter in the Kingdom of God”

This means that it was relevant then and still relevant now and will still be relevant in the coming days. But if we were to dwell deeper into Proverbs, we will find that the prevailing and prevalent theme is probablyContinue reading “Wisdom”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/08/01/in-this-together To those of us who used to enjoy warm fellowship with others because of our work position, there could be a sense of loneliness when that fellowship disappeared because we are no longer in that position. It could happen because we moved departments or had taken another role or had moved on to anotherContinue reading “All Alone”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/07/31/make-it-your-own-dawg As we look to Paul’s life as an example for our own spiritual journey, we see that he started anew when he got to know Jesus. He considered all that he had learned as a Pharisee as nothing even though he used to take pride in his achievements. He started afresh in his newContinue reading “Making It Our Own”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/07/30/puddles-of-sunshine I was in the United Kingdom recently to attend Ivan’s graduation and the first thing I noticed when I touched down is the long day. It was summer and dawn breaks early at nearly 4.00 am but the sun only sets like around 9.30 pm! First time I experienced it as someone who hadContinue reading “Puddles of Sunshine”

Other translations use the phrase, “goodness and mercy”, a phrase I’m more acquinted with for Psalm 23. Surely this is what we as believers want for our lives as we give our heartsContinue reading “Goodness and Mercy of God”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/07/28/when-the-whole-world-sings A song sang by every nation and tribe praising the Lamb of God for His sacrifice on the cross that reconciled man to God! What a fantastic and amazing moment that would be! The thing which spoke to me this morning as I read Revelation 5 is that Jesus dying for our sins isContinue reading “The Lamb of God”

https://odb.org/MY/2022/07/27/the-key I have been away abroad to attend my elder son’s graduation from Cardiff University and thus didn’t continue my early morning routine of writing devotional thoughts as I was in a different time zone. When I came home, I suffered from jet lag and managed to only sleep when I was going to wakeContinue reading “Looking At The Right Place”
