Hold On To God


The king was sick. He was 39 years old, he was rich and powerful, and he not yet had the son he desired so much. Yes, he was a good man but yes, he was going to die.

 He knew he would die because God said so. God had specifically sent a message asking him to get his house in order because he was going die.

 And as he looked before and behind him, at the life he had lived, the dreams he had dreamed, the children he thought he would have, thirty-nine years seemed too short. As he remembered his service and love for God and the greatness of God's mercy, King Hezekiah refused to give up.

He went on his knees and prayed to God. God had passed his sentence and only God could revoke that sentence. He prayed, knowing that although he had done his best to serve God, ultimately, his life depended on God's mercy and only God could change things for him.

 And God heard him.
And God answered.
And God sent back the prophet Isaiah
And God healed him.
And God added fifteen more years to his life.
Hold on to God. Hear Him for yourself. Never give up. Even when it looks hopeless, remember, God's mercy is greater than you can imagine. Hold on to God.

Selah🤔 _do I pray to God no matter what I hear?_

Stalker God?

One Sunday during a church Bible study on salvation, the Bible study leader spoke about the coming judgement and told us that God keeps a record of the things we do and we will be judged according to our works. Someone asked why God follows us recording everything we do to judge us on the last day when He Himself had said we're saved when we believe in Christ. The leader asked the congregation if any of us had an answer and I shared my opinion. I gave quite a lengthy explanation on the difference between the judgment of Christians and the judgment of the world, the various crowns and rewards that will be given on the last day, and the fact that our lives are an eternal record of the glory of God and an example to the world. Everyone seemed to like what I said and I was applauded. After church, one of the junior pastors told me that he liked my answer during the Bible study class and I left, feeling a warm glow inside. As I thought about it, my mind was opened and I underst...

A Reflection

Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on 23 The life is more than meat and the body is more than raiment. I’ve come to see how true this is. We read the Bible and this scripture is so easy to quote. But what about doing it? Many of us are worried about what we’ll eat or what we’ll wear. Which hairstyle do we do next? Weave, clip-ins, wig or braids? Curly or straight? Long or short? Black, brown, red or gold? What about our nails? What colour do we paint them? Which shoes? Which lashes? Which makeup? Which phone, which tablet? Which laptop? Which car? Which flavour of  ice cream ? For many of us, our lives revolve around our bodies. Yet Jesus said life is more than food and the body more than clothing. Is it really true? The Apostle John said in 1 John 2:15, 16 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love th...

The Spider is dead The first star is fallen Gone are the cobwebs that had me cowering The crutches are broken The second star is fallen Somehow, I must move without falling The darkness has fled The third star is fallen I'll get used to the light that's so blinding Christ on the water calls The fourth star is fallen I have to walk on water without sinking Somehow I must pick up the pieces and move on I must walk on the water with Christ I'm walking on water I'm walking without crutches I'm flying without wings Christ is my light
