I Seek the Shelter of God’s Wings

I Seek the Shelter of God’s Wings

There’s just something special about hearing the Word spoken to you, don’t you think? That’s why I sometimes read the Bible out loud to myself. I need to hear it, reading is not just quite enough. Today I started reading Psalm 61 out loud and just hearing the title of the Psalm “I seek the shelter of your wings” touched my heart. At that moment I had come home: under the shelter of God’s wings. When I heard these words…

Static Connection or the Silence of God?

Static Connection or the Silence of God?

  Are you feeling right now that God is way too silent or, at least, the connection is static at its best? Don’t worry. Help is near. God is near. There is no event so commonplace but that God is present within it, always hiddenly, always leaving you room to recognize Him or not recognize Him, but all the more fascinatingly because of that, all the more compellingly and hauntingly. –Frederick Buechner   There sure are different seasons in life….

What Is Most Important Today?

What Is Most Important Today?

It’s not a trick question. But by answering it you will realize whether your life has the right perspective or not. What is most important today? It’s not finishing your Christmas shopping. It’s not clearing your to-do list (even if it is full of good and holy deeds). It’s not championing your life, either. The most important thing is to abide in God and feel his loving presence. God loves you and you need to abide in Him. If you…

What to Do When God Is Silent

What to Do When God Is Silent

Too often we worry about if we have done something wrong when God feels distant. The silence of God is part of salvation life. Sometimes it lasts few days or weeks, sometimes the silent period lasts months or even years. But it doesn’t mean that we would be abandoned. It doesn’t mean that we would be bad Christians.  If God chooses to be silent there is nothing we can do to prevent it. The silence of God is not exceptional….

Mind Your Step!

Mind Your Step!

Airports can be fascinating places. Lots of opportunities for people watching for sure. But they can be very stressful places, too. People are weary, ready to be somewhere else. Walkways are long and fatigue is almost always present. But all of that is part of traveling or getting from the place A to the place B. Moving walkways are attempts to make travellers journeys a bit easier. Sometimes I take them, sometimes I am happy  to walk between so many…

“God waits to be wanted.” (A.W.Tozer) Don’t hesitate! Run to God! Acknowledge your needs and wants to God! He waits to be wanted! He waits to cover you with his grace. He waits to listen to you.

Blessed Is the (Wo)Man – Psalm 1

Blessed Is the (Wo)Man – Psalm 1

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked!They are like chaffthat…
