Sweet Holy Spirit
Ps. 119:103 (JUB) “How sweet have been thy spoken words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
Today, we will pick up from our last thought from yesterday’s devotional and that is, “You hold on to the Word until you hear His voice!” A profound truth I had never heard in my over two decades of walking with God. Read the rest of this entry
His Voice
Ps.29:3 “The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the mighty sea. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.”
If we know how things will turn out, we will never panic no matter what. Some years ago, in my walk with and work for God, I told God that I would not pray about the weather anymore. Read the rest of this entry
God-High
Ps.25:1-2 (MSG) My head is high, God, held high; I’m looking to you, God; No hangdog skulking for me.
When you look to God and God alone, what people do to you really would not matter. You are able to forgive because your eyes are on God. I want to share a thought with you that has been resonating in my heart for a few weeks now and it is, Read the rest of this entry
Your Responsibility
Ps.119:37 (NIV) “Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.”
D. L. Moody says, “We are to ask with beggar’s humility, to seek with a servant’s carefulness, and to knock with the confidence of a friend.” Based on the insight from this, we have learnt that it takes humility to ask. Read the rest of this entry
Humility 102
1 Kings 3:9 “Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”

Humility 101
Luke 11:9 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Yesterday, we concluded by saying that when Jesus says, ask – seek – knock, He is saying ask! Looking at it from the insight that D. L. Moody brings to the table, three things immediately stand out. The first is, it takes humility to ask. Asking puts you in a place of humility. Read the rest of this entry
Ask, Seek, Knock
Luke 11:9 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
The Bible says, “everyone who asks, receives, everyone who seeks, finds, and to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened”. These are the words of Jesus Himself, your case will not be different. Read the rest of this entry
For Him
1 Kings 3:9 “Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”
There are implications when God says, “ask of Me”, the implication is focus, change your focus [Jer.17:5-8 please read]. Ask of Me means look at me, keep your eyes on Me. Ask of me means you have to be humble because asking puts you in a place of humility. Read the rest of this entry
