It was another day when I woke up with an unusual dream that made me wonder for a while about its meaning. But when I turned to my Bible, God strengthened my spirit and gave me assurance that He is in control. He soon talked with me through the story of Esther. Esther chapter 6 talks about a king who is supposed to be in control of everything in life, yet he was not able to go to sleep. Esther 6:1 says, "That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the b

God's favour is what we need to live life well. Is just surviving the given life enough for every child of God? No, we need God's favour that can take us beyond our reach. Esther was an orphan girl in a foreign land. But God gave her favour and gave her power as a ruler in the kingdom where she was supposed to live as a slave. The verse says, “Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor.” Esther 2:9. The same happened to Joseph. He got favour in the eyes of th

To get a complete picture of a book, what would you do? You’ll read it fully. This blog is one such, which birthed after understanding the whole picture and main theme of the Gospel written by Mark. It is so beautiful that Mark tried to capture the life of Jesus under the theme of suffering. Can we escape suffering in this life? Are we living a life faithful unto Jesus, following Jesus by believing suffering will not touch us if we do so? Then the result could easily be what

I love to decorate my house with God's Word. Especially by writing it on colour charts and pasting it on the wall was my delight when I was young. “And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates,” says Deuteronomy 6:9. Very recently, my husband shared his experience on the road when he was riding the bike. He met a young man on the way who asked for a ride. Upon accepting, the conversation between the two started, and the young man shared his story. H

God first introduces Himself to us as our Creator in the Bible. He creates the heaven and the earth. This was the earth He created. Verse 2 says it was formless and empty; water was there, and it was dark there. And our Creator God blessed the empty, dark earth with light. He then filled the land with all good things like plants, trees, animals, human beings, etc. God gave very special attention in creating us humans. Verse 26 says, “Let us make human beings in our image, to

“He said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” Says Daniel 3:25. This beautiful verse is about Daniel's friends and their experience when they went through fire. Fire's nature is to consume whatever goes near it and to destroy it. But these men of God, when thrown into the fire for their faith in God, experienced something different. The fire could not kill them. They were bound
