Caleb’s story has been inspiring me lately. He was one of the twelve spies who trusted God’s promise about the land God had given to Israel, and decades later he still refused to settle for less than what God said. While others were content with the land already conquered, Caleb requested the territory with the … Continue reading Go for the giants

Have a No-Let-Go November
In the middle of a conversation with my friend about the storm in Jamaica and the havoc it had caused, I was struck by something she said: “Holding on by a thread, but holding on nonetheless.” Those words were simple yet soaked in faith. They reminded me of the woman who, after twelve years of … Continue reading Have a No-Let-Go November
May without Maybes
In maths, probability is expressed on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). But in life, we rarely deal in absolutes. The future often feels unpredictable, yet one thing remains absolute: God. Just as sure as the sun rises and sets, God’s character remains unchanged. God is love, so His love stays constant—steadfast and … Continue reading May without Maybes
A Determined December
The end of the year looks different for everyone. For some, it’s a season of unfulfilled expectations and unanswered prayers. In these moments, we can draw inspiration from two biblical stories: Jacob in Genesis 32:26, where he wrestled with God and declared, "I will not let go until You bless me," and the Canaanite woman … Continue reading A Determined December
A Neatly grounded November
The “fight or flight” response often pushes us to act impulsively in difficult situations, creating more chaos than calm. Think of movie characters, sinking deeper into quicksand because they panic and struggle, fearing they’ll drown. In Psalm 40:1-3, David describes being in a “pit. Rather than acting impulsively, he chose stillness and surrendered his struggle … Continue reading A Neatly grounded November
An Abundant August!
God desires to be involved in all areas of our lives, but we must be willing and set aside our pride. He won’t forcefully intervene if we think we can handle everything ourselves. When God steps in, there is a change in the atmosphere and miracles happen. When the three Hebrew boys were in the … Continue reading An Abundant August!
A delightful December
In Hannah’s story (1 Samuel), we learn that God 'shut her womb'. Her barrenness was permitted by God. Likewise, the dry seasons we encounter do not surprise God. The past 335 days and the next 30 days have this in common - God’s hand is in it. When you understand that God’s hand is on … Continue reading A delightful December
A No-looking back November
Imagine a driver whose gaze is fixed on the rearview mirror, watching other cars and objects behind them. It won’t be long till an accident occurs due to a misplaced focus. Similarly, we look at the metaphorical rearview mirror of life: replaying past events/ incidents. However, persistently focusing on the negatives of the past halts … Continue reading A No-looking back November
An October of Opened Doors
The final quarter of the year has begun. I pray that this quarter will be a season of open doors. The popular term “If at first you don’t succeed try again” comes to mind. At this time of the year when it appears that several doors have been closed and the road ahead looks bleak … Continue reading An October of Opened Doors
August 2023
For a footballer to score a goal, a golfer to get a hole-in-one, and a dart player to get a bullseye, they have one thing in common - they strategically position themselves. Professionals strategically position themselves to get the same or better results each time. Similarly, we are to adopt certain positions to guarantee success … Continue reading August 2023
