In the midst of noise

Image
And after the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” —  1 Kings 19:12 (NIV)   “Be still, and know that I am God.” —  Psalm 46:10 (NIV)   Have you noticed how much noise surrounds us today? The constant buzz of social media, the hum of the city streets, the chatter of people—and even the unending voices inside our own minds. Sometimes, the loudest noise isn’t around us but within us.   Even in moments of prayer or worship, our lips may sing praises while our minds wander. Thoughts rush in—our worries, plans, regrets, and even doubts. It’s no wonder many of us ask,  “How can I hear the voice of God amid all this noise?”   Just imagine—how is it possible to hear God’s voice amid so many distractions around us today? Even in moments meant for prayer, our phones buzz, notifications chime, and the television hums in the background. And we complain “God is not speaking”. The truth is God is peaking...

He loads us with blessings; He carries us in his arms

“Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Selah.” -  Psalm 68:19 (NKJV)   “Praise the Lord; praise God our Savior!

David praises God as the One who  “daily loads us with benefits.”  In other words, every morning when we rise, we can be confident that our loving Father has already prepared and scattered blessings along our path—tokens of His goodness and mercy waiting for us to discover.

When faith begins to waver

Scripture:   “But David thought to himself, ‘One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul.’”  — 1 Samuel 27:1   Introduction   Faith doesn’t always fail with a crash — sometimes it fades quietly under the weight of waiting. When prayers seem unanswered and the journey stretches on, even the strongest believer can feel the strain. David’s story in  1 Samuel 27:1   reminds us that the fiercest battles are often not fought on the field, but in the mind.   When faith grows weary, fear begins to reason — and reason without revelation always leads us away from God.   The mighty warrior who once stood fearless before Goliath now trembles before Saul. It wasn’t a fall into moral sin, but a fall into despair — a moment when faith gave way to fear, and the man after God’s own heart began listening to his own reasoning instead of God’s voice.   A collapse of faith in a mighty man   David was no ordinary believer. His life had been mark...
