https://odb.org/2024/04/17/choices-matter We make choices all the time, whether young or old. Choices may be driven by self-preservation or fleshy desires or even selfish ambitions. But mostly, as humans given the will to make our own choices, we make decisions that benefit us most. Sometimes, we pray and seek God. Sometimes, we move on because theContinue reading “The path that leads to destruction”

Living a life worthy of our calling
https://odb.org/2024/04/16/ready-to-go-3 There are two aspects to Ephesians 4:1. One is the worthy life and the other the calling. For the latter, we all have our own specific calling. That is probably why spiritual gifts, as listed in 5 different places in the New Testament, are not identical. These lists are likely not exhaustive. Thus, youContinue reading “Living a life worthy of our calling”
Be at home
https://odb.org/2024/04/15/longing-for-home-3 Although some of us may treat our workplace as just a place to earn a living, feeling at home at our workplace helps us to be happy and contented at work, ultimately pushing us to make an effective contribution to our respective organisations. We must fit in whether with the people or the workContinue reading “Be at home”
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
https://odb.org/2024/04/14/above-all-else Matthew 6:33 – Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you, is one of the most important verses of the bible that we should know besides John 3:16. It is the foundation of our faith in the sense that while we need toContinue reading “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God”
Armour of light
https://odb.org/2024/04/09/put-this-on-every-day We are a new creation when we are born again in Christ, having awakened our spirit who was dead to Yahweh, God the Father. The Holy Spirit lifted the scales from our eyes to see the light, having an understanding of the salvation Jesus brings through His death on the cross and how HisContinue reading “Armour of light”
Joy in the city
https://odb.org/2024/04/08/joy-in-the-city Proverbs 11:10 teaches that when the righteous prosper, the city rejoices. I think not so much that the city is happy for the prosperity of the righteous but more the fact they know that the blessings of the heavens are opened to also bring prosperity to the city. The righteous prosper because God isContinue reading “Joy in the city”
5 things to be thankful
https://odb.org/2024/04/07/five-good-things It is good to be thankful for who we are today and for the things that we have, especially to Creator God, our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Saviour. As today’s ODB article teaches, there are positive benefits to thankfulness and gratefulness. For example, research indicates that people who are intentionallyContinue reading “5 things to be thankful”
He has put eternity in our hearts
https://odb.org/2024/04/05/now-and-forever Ecclesiastes is indeed a peculiar wisdom book in the Bible as Solomon seemed to say everything is vanity or meaningless. Except for one thing, and that is knowing God. Thus, we live and die. We work hard to earn a living. We start a family and raise children. We have possessions. But we canContinue reading “He has put eternity in our hearts”
Reassurance from the LORD
https://odb.org/2024/04/04/in-his-arms I think the picture of a young child sitting on the lap of his father on the dentist’s chair is an excellent picture of who God is and how He is a force of reassurance when we are going through some tough patches in life. God will also be that tower of strength whenContinue reading “Reassurance from the LORD”
Hearing Jesus’s voice
https://odb.org/2024/04/03/i-hear-you-god I think it’s a given that once we accept Jesus Christ into our lives as our Lord and Saviour, we will eventually know and recognise His voice. In John 10:1-10, Jesus uses the picture of a shepherd and his sheep to convey this message. Basically, the sheep will know and recognise the voice ofContinue reading “Hearing Jesus’s voice”
