Half Yearly Review - 2025

Scripture Reference: Ps 40:4-5

Nothing is surprise to the Lord. He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. He is doing more than we ask for. Sometimes, we may not understand why did allow or not allow or delay certain things. There are 3 possible scenarios that I have come across to our requests.

God says YES to see our gratitude towards Him. He says NO to test our trust in Him. He DELAYS our requests to measure our patience with His timing.

David's life provides valuable lessons, as these three scenarios strengthened him and shaped him into the person the Lord intended him to be. In Ps 40:4, David declared that God have done many wonderful things. According to him, trying to list all the the Lord has done is like trying to count the stars or grains of—an impossible task. They're too numerous to handle, and we'd probably give halfway through. God is so good that we run out of words faster than a chatter a silent retreat. Describing Him might require thousand tongues and even then, we'd only scratch the surface. nature, deeds, and thoughts towards us are so vast, they'd leave human language and logic feeling utterly inadequate.

If we give ourselves over to God, by turning our backs on the world's sure thing, ignore what the world worships, God's reserved huge stockpile of God-wonders and God-thoughts available to us. To express this in simple Biblical language, GOD blesses all who trust in Him. Those who Trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, it can not be moved and abides forever (Ps 125:1). Blessing after blessing comes to those who love and trust the Lord. Hallelujah.

On top of showing his Gratitude for the blessings, He had a super confidence that the Lord have planned marvellous things for him. He worshipped Him by proclaim that He had made wonderful plans for him. This was not merely a positive confession, but an unwavering trust, a steadfast, serene lifestyle that David practiced throughout his life. Let all who seek You shout for Joy and be glad in You. Surely God is my salvation, I will Trust and not be afraid (Is 12:2).

Let us read Your letter what You wrote about us; Let us enter to the party, You are throwing for us; Let God's WORD enter my life, become part of my very being. Let God allow us to enjoy great and unsearchable things planned for us. Let us joyfully dwell in the store of divine marvels, wonders without number, beyond computation.

Father God, as we rewind the journey so far in 2025, we are whole heartedly declaring like David, You have done many wonderful things. At the same time, You have planned many marvellous things already. No one is like You. Nothing compare to You. Your thoughts concerning us are beyond computation. They are higher than earth. Your ways are higher than our thoughts (IS 55:8-9). No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined what GOD has prepared for us (1 Cor 2:9).  You are the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You will not grow tired or weary. Your understanding is beyond searching out (Is 40:28). Thank you for the many miracles and Wonders done in the first half of 2025. You have multiplied Your wonderous deeds and thoughts towards us for the second half of the year. I place my Trust in the Lord always. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend. 

In His Grip

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
