Rhythm of Faith

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Proverbs 6:6 Ants are great teachers ( Pr 30:24-28 ). There are things you can learn from ants that will help you professionally more than your academic or technical education. Ants are diligent and prudent: diligent by working hard without coercion, and prudent by saving part of all production. These two basic necessities for success are generally neglected in modern societies, where pleasure is worshipped and deficit spending is encouraged. What is a sluggard? A person who is slow, lazy, and does not like to work hard. He is a pain and risk to those that must rely on him ( Pr 10:26 ). Diligent men, or those that work hard, will be successful ( Pr 10:4 ; 12:24 ;  14:23 ;  22:29 ;  28:19 ), but lazy men, who avoid hard work, are losers ( Pr 6:10-11 ;  12:24 ;  19:15 ;  20:4 , 13 ; 24:30-34 ). Are you a sluggard? Sluggards are too arrogant to be taught ( Pr 26:16 ), so Solomon mocked them with ant...

From the story of Joseph in Genesus 37 Don’t forget that Joseph’s master, Potiphar, was not a believer in God. He was an Egyptian who worshipped idols. Yet, when the manifested presence of the Lord shone gloriously through the work of Joseph’s hands, even this unbelieving heathen could see the tangible results of the Lord’s special anointing, power and blessing upon Joseph’s life. Potiphar marveled and could not but acknowledge that the Lord was with Joseph, and that “the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand.” Now, isn’t it interesting that Potiphar did not merely conclude that Joseph was a good worker? Instead, Potiphar could see that it was not Joseph’s skills, but rather, his God who was prospering all that Joseph set his hands to. Genesis 39:3 tells us that “the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand.” This could not have been “spiritual discernment” on Potiphar’s part—he was not a believer and had no spiritual discernment when it cam...

Moses and the people were in the desert, but what was he going to do with them? They had to be fed, and feeding 2 or 3 million people requires a lot of food. According to the Quartermaster General of the Army, it is calculated that Moses would have needed 1500 tons of food each day to feed the Israelites. To bring that much food each day, two freight trains, each a mile long, would be required. Besides that, you must remember, they were out in the desert, so they would have to have firewood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4000 tons of wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long, just for one day. And just think, they were forty years in transit. And oh yes! They would have to have water. If they only had enough to drink, cook and wash a few dishes, it would take 11,000,000 gallons each day...and a freight train with tank cars, 3 miles long, just to bring water! And then another thing! They had to get across the Red Sea in one night.  Now, if they went on a narr...

                         Many people ask the question secretly why should I become a Christian?Is there anything wrong with my way of life?  Humans especially the youth fear that Christianity is a rule that you have to abide to and it will cramp their lifestyle.  Trust me God is more than that,God is love.

Malachi 3:3 says: 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: 'He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.' She asked the silversmith if it was true that h...
