Beholding God is about going deeper into the exciting discovery of God through Jesus Christ, to know Him and enjoy him. This is eternal life. This is the purpose and true joy of life. Join me as I mediate on scripture passages, while sharing my struggles, joys and sorrows. I typically post a new blog every two weeks (some with audio versions).

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips”. - Psalm 63:6;5

How The Weary Find Rest. It’s a Promise
How The Weary Find Rest. It’s a Promise

We bear so much on our shoulders. Things we were never intended to carry. We strive for God and others’ approval, relying on limited, finite and perishable things such as intelligence, money, beauty, biblical literacy, eloquence. We act as if God’s Love for us and our right standing with him was conditional upon our performance. Jesus promises laboring souls like us: ‘I will give you rest …you will find rest for your souls’. He only asks us: (1) ‘Come to me’, (2) ‘take my yoke upon you’, and (3) ‘learn from me’.

Will You Make It Into Heaven?

Many of us have struggled with the assurance of our salvation at some point. We look in our hearts and see all manners of sin and evil. We wonder: am I truly saved? Do I have enough faith? On judgement day, will Jesus say to me ‘depart from me you worker of evil’?

3 Reasons To Praise God When You Don't Feel Like it
3 Reasons To Praise God When You Don't Feel Like it

Let me be honest. Sometimes, I struggle to believe God's Goodness and I don’t feel like praising Him. Hebrews 13:15-16 is greatly encouraging because it teaches that praising God is a sacrificial offering. It's not supposed to feel easy or ‘natural’ all the time. And to offer praises to God when it's hard, despite our flesh’s rebellion against it, is pleasing to him. You may ask: Isn’t it hypocritical to praise God when I don’t want to?

Facing Plenty
Facing Plenty

A couple of weeks ago, I was going through it. My heart was heavy and my spirit burdened. I prayed and read my bible almost all day long ... The turmoil in my soul drove me to the Lord … But as things got better, I started to slow it down. This week, I was back into the storm again and guess what? I have been praying, worshiping and reading my bible constantly … What is it about hardships that draws us near to God? … Why are my prayers so heartfelt and my bible reading so life-giving in such times? ….

Excerpt from “God Thinks About You …Very Much & Very Deeply : An Exposé of Psalm 139”:

Do you realize how much and how deeply God thinks about his children? Do you know that he watches you carefully every day with the purpose of doing good to you, to protect you, and to lead you in the way of life?

Sometimes I unconsciously think that God is too busy running the universe to care about why I am crying on my couch or that he has ‘holier’ people to pay attention to.

The inspired David shows us in Psalm 139 that this could not be further from the truth. But what even David could not fathom, ‘things into which angels long to look’ (1 Peter 1:10), is a God who put on human flesh, dwelt among us, and gave his life for us so that we might have eternal life in him.
