Mountain

"In the LORD I take refuge. How can you say to my soul: Flee as a bird to your mountain?" Psalm 11:1


The climb to Mount Sinai has begun. We all have at least one request for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. By faith, we will ascend the Holy Mountain; the Mountain where God transformed millions of slaves into a free and powerful nation. Sacrifice is the shortest distance between wanting and realising your dream. The one who believes goes and conquers his dream.

Doing The Best




Although he was still a youth, David already had a heart after the God of His forefathers. As a shepherd, he did his best to care for his father's flock. For this reason, God saw that he could take care of His people and chose him to be the King of Israel. Because he was faithful in the little, he was placed upon much.

Today, God is still looking for people whose hearts follow after Him, to honour them, just as He honoured David.

"He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much..." Luke 16:10

Afflictions

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivers him out of all."
                     
Psalm 34:19



This verse shows us that we are continually at war, one after the other. These fights are necessary to keep our faith active but Divine providence is guaranteed. As big as they may seem, our God promises to deliver us.

Confidence

"Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God." 1 John 3:21


When a child disobeys or does something wrong, his parents quickly realise because of his nervousness - he can't even look them in the eyes. In the same way, when a person has a dirty conscience, he doesn't have the confidence to ask anything from God; his faith is timid. However, those who have a pure heart have full confidence.
