Luke

  Bitterness: I don't talk to anyone spontaneously  I don't trust anybody quickly  Lest they hurt me and break my heart And that pain might turn into bitterness And cause my soul to grieve I better stay safe I better guard my heart from getting hurt I have built strong walls around my heart  I don't let anyone enter easily Is there a balm that could cure my bitterness? Like the ones they sell in shops? They have a balm for headache They have a balm for back pain But none that could heal my heart. I have seen some men They make their own balm They get into drugs and all To ease the pain but only in vain Some women too, They share their burdens to others  Only to find, there is no gain Then I remember, Jesus crucified on the cross The soldiers mock Him They give him bitter water dipped in a sponge And He drank it  He bore my bitterness on the cross I don't have to worry about it How can I go away from the cross For that's where my healing is He has the healin...

  Today's Musing: Feb 2nd 1 Samuel 28 King Saul's misery Summary : The philistines assemble to battle against Israel. King Saul 🤴  on seeing the philistine army, begins to tremble with fear. He tries to seek God but God is silent. Now out of desperation, he goes to see a woman  👩  who is a medium (meaning she speaks with spirits    of the dead 💀 ). She conjures a spirit, which identifies itself as Samuel, the prophet. And the spirit told, in the battle tomorrow, Saul and his sons would perish and Israel  🇮🇱  will lose. Now Saul is even more terrified when he returns after seeing the woman. Thoughts :  💭   Saul's Fear : Whenever the Spirit of the Lord comes over a person, they are bold. Here we see that the Lord had left Saul and he is fearful.  God's Silence: Saul had zero relationship with God. He never cared for what was in God's heart. He only cared for his needs and wants. God regretted making Saul as king over His people ...

  Today's Musing: Feb 1st 1 Samuel 27 This chapter describes David going to the Philistine land and serving them. Summary : David was in hiding for a few years in Israel as king Saul was trying to kill him. A prophet prophesied that David ought to stay in Israel even though his life was in constant threat. God was faithful and did not let David be captured by Saul. But now, David was weary and thought going to the philistines was better. He and his 600 men along with their families went to Achish, a ruler in the Philistine country    and became subject to him.  David raided people groups in Philistine, killing everyone and confiscated their belongings. To Achish, David lied, that he had raided his own countrymen - the Israelites. This made Achish believe that David would be a true servant to him forever. Deviating from your call: David's call:  David was anointed to be the King of Isreal one day. He had to stay in Isreal even though his life was in constant thre...

1 Samuel chapter 26 David was a man who walked in the ways of God. David knew that king Saul was terrorized by an evil spirit and also he was on the lookout to kill David for no reason. Yet, when David had the opportunity to kill king Saul, he refrained from it because he acknowledged king Saul as the Lord's anointed. Even when his companions advised him to kill Saul, David didn't comply. David's reverence for God made him to revere Saul. Dear God, Be the center of my heart. Help me to walk in your ways (like David did) refraining from evil for you are a Holy God. In Jesus Name, Amen.  

Fierce Love: Below are some of the images that was taken by NASA's James WEBB telescope. a) Carina Nebula's star forming region              b) Cart wheel galaxy d) Stephan's Quintet - a cluster of 5 galaxies c) Butterfly Nebula           People around the world are just awe struck recently, seeing all these wonderful pictures of stars, galaxies, black holes, exoplanets, nebulas   that the WEBB telescope is capturing every day in outer space.      Psalms 19  says,                           " The heavens declare the glory of God ".  How true this is!!! The Truth about Creation: Genesis 1   talks about how God created everything. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. The Earth was formless and empty but the Spirit of God hovered over the waters of the Earth.  And God said, "Let there...

DADDY IS HERE: And surely I am with you  always, to the very end of the age.  Matthew 28: 20 THE CHILDISH DAYS:     One of the best things of being born as a girl is that, superheroes are so real for us. What? Superheroes?     Yup. You heard it right. A Dad is a girl's first superhero. Dad's may not have a costume with a long cape like the superhero who comes on TV, with flying capabilities and extraordinary super powers, but still, they appear as superheroes in their daughter's eyes.     A Dad's very presence can lighten up his daughter's face, bring warmth to her heart, laughter to her lips, strength to her whole self and what not.     But girls do grow up and this fairytale dream of their dad's being their superhero soon vanishes. They come to the realization that their dad is not a superhero, but just their father who is growing old. This realization brings gloom into the heart of a woman. Insecurity and fear grips their heart. I was...

                                                             KEEP WATCH Then he said to them,  “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” Matthew 26:38     Imagine a battle field. Whenever the soldiers need to rest, they would appoint another soldier to remain awake and alert them in case the enemy attacks. This is analogous to our Christian life. Life is not an amusement park with fun and laughter all the time. It is neither a graveyard - dark and eerie filled with despair. Rather, I would describe the christian life as a victorious life where our Lord and Savior has already won over the battle and we walk in the victory of it each and every day. What battle you may ask? The battle against sin, curs...
