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).

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? ….

The Glory of God
The Glory of God

This is part 2 of the previous post, ‘Glory’. In Exodus 33, Moses asked God to show him His Glory. After the grievous sin committed by the Israelites, he wondered if God would still be with them. Moses wanted reassurance, one that goes deep. He knew that beholding God in his very essence, was the only thing that could strengthen him again. … So, what is the Glory of God? According to God himself, it is all of His goodness. All of it, all at once and all of the time.

Many of us only have a vague idea of the meaning of the Glory of God, even though it is a prominent theme in the Bible and the Christian life. The more I understand it, the harder it is to explain. But for the next two blogs, I will do my best, by God's grace, to help us meditate on it.

Featured Snippet

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.
