The day between death and resurrection , the day that evil was confused about what really happened and realized their failure, the day the world was silent and there was a victory march in heaven.

Silence is difficult for us because it could be due to uncertainty/doubt or it could be due to complete confidence in the future. What does this day of silence signify for us? . There are facts and theories about what Jesus did this day but that is not the focus, the focus is what does this day of silence mean…

For the righteous will never be moved, he will be remembered forever. He will not be afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting the Lord. His heart is steady, he will not be afraid until he looks in triumph on his adversaries. 
Psalms 112: 6-8

There is bad news lurking everywhere, ready to pounce on us , ready to break us down and make us look helpless. Bad news at work, in your family, in your ministry , in your church, in…

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful and righteous. 
Psalms 112:4

There is darkness around us , there are enemies who plot and scheme against us . As men of God we are to be aware of these forces that work against us but we need to also constantly remind ourselves that our God is greater than all the darkness and adversaries that rise against us.

When we work with God , light dawns into our…

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. Psalms 112:3
It is well with a man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. Psalms 112:5

We all love to have wealth and riches , to be secure in the wealth that we have and to be sure that the riches will keep us safe for the rest of our lives is one of our deepest desires. Yet have we not seen and heard the brokenness…

“His offspring will be mighty in the land;the generation of the upright will be blessed”
Psalms 112:2

How do we want to be remembered when we leave this world? , what do you think people will say about me or you?, who would really miss our presence?. These questions need some deep introspection into who we are and what are we doing to leave behind a legacy.

The most important part that we will leave behind are our children, our…

“Praise the Lord! 

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,who greatly delights in his commandments “
Psalms 112: 1

The word fear brings unpleasant memories and that is how the word is been used through everything we see , hear and touch in today’s world. Yet the psalmist says blessed is the man who fears the Lord, so this fear should be a different type of fear.

It should be a fear that arises out of love and respect and not anger…

How much would we do for a friend?, suppose he has a reputation that is manipulative and difficult, would we still be ready to help and support him. If he is a person using us to meet his ambitions and desires, would we still love him. It is difficult to understand this within the limitations of human knowledge and ability, as it will need something stronger to look beyond the betrayal and manipulations.

It would need the love of Christ and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It is of ultimate…

The Grace of God has been present from the beginning of time. It was hidden in the stories of the Old Testament and appeared in flesh in the New Testament. The Grace of God appeared in flesh so that we could understand and relate to the facts that encourage our journey of Grace with God.

1. Bringing Salvation - When the Grace of God appeared in flesh through Jesus Christ it brought salvation to all, there was no division, everyone was treated equally before God and whoever was ready to receive, received…

Ref: 2 Timothy 4:16-18

Winter is around the corner and Paul calls out to Timothy, his brother to join him ,”do your best to come to me soon” he says . Paul seems to be going through a period of being deserted and alone , the ones who once walked with him have left him and the ones who are with him are struggling to keep up with Paul’s passion and work ethics in spreading the gospel.

It is a hard journey to be different from the rest, to stand up for what God has placed on your heart. Like Paul you could…

When you are a saved by grace , your pleasure comes from serving GOD and not fame, your work is towards GOD and not man, your appreciation is from GOD and not humans , your friendship lies in Christ and not in the words of decaying flesh, your hope is the return of Jesus not in the lies of world leaders, your strength is in the name of the Everlasting King not in the power of wealth, for He is the beginning and the end , the Alpha and Omega and no one can share His glory , for our righteousness is but like…
