A daily thought.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.Hebrews 10:23 ESV While the writer of Hebrews makes this sound simple, practically speaking it is quite challenging. We are to hold fast without wavering, that is without doubting or losing hope, because we know God is faithful toContinue reading “A daily thought.”

A Lesson in Human Calling

Genesis 11 – The Tower of Babel As humans we are so quick to try and do everything ourselves. No matter how big or how small, we must complete the task independently – we pride ourselves on being able to say, look what I did. Sometimes this is a conscious decision of pride but oftenContinue reading “A Lesson in Human Calling”

Eight Musings on Chapter 8

Eight musings, lessons and encouragement from Genesis chapter 8. 1) God remembered Noah. It’s such a simple sentence with a whole lot of meaning. That fact that God remembered Noah despite everything that was happening, shows God truely cares about each individual and that we never need fear He might forget about us. 2) ItContinue reading “Eight Musings on Chapter 8”

Gen 4 – The Heart Matters

Genesis 4:1-16 ~ My musings on the story of Cain and Able. It is so easy to go through the motions when it comes to life and God. How easy and how often do we do things out of obligation and spite? We pretend everything is good on the surface, but inside we are aContinue reading “Gen 4 – The Heart Matters”

Gen 3 – Part 2

The beginning of the redemption story ♡ Thankfully the story didn’t end with our sin! If it did, God might as well wiped out the whole earth and all of humanity right then and there! We had lost our open fellowship with God and had earned death by our disobedience. But, instead of them destitute,Continue reading “Gen 3 – Part 2”

Genesis 3: Part 1 – The Fall

Chapter 3: The part of the story where we show how foolish and fallible we are and God shows just how full of love, mercy and compassion He is and that He always has a plan. I’ve always hated this chapter, its the one I always try to avoid and skirt around. I’d rather notContinue reading “Genesis 3: Part 1 – The Fall”

Musings on Gen 2

Genesis 2 – part 2 in my reading of Genesis (surprise surprise 😂) While many sermons and books could be written on any one of the many valuable and instructive themes, situations and topics presented in this chapter, I found it was helpful to list out some of the points I thought God was makingContinue reading “Musings on Gen 2”

A God of Order

Genesis 1 Part one of my musings from Genesis. Isn’t it amazing we serve a God of order!? Unlike many of its contemporaries, the Hebrew creation story stands in vast contrast; a God of order compared to creation through chaos. The surrounding nations of the time tended to have the similar concept, waring deities resultingContinue reading “A God of Order”

Be at peace

Here is one of my favourite bible verses, Philippians 4:6-9. One thing I love about these verses is how it offers comfort by pointing us back to God. I hope you find encouragement in these verses like I do in such challenging times. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, withContinue reading “Be at peace”
