Rhythm of Faith

When conception occurs, all the God-designed instructions of what the person will be are set; sex, eye color, physical attributes, intelligence, gifts.  By the second week, the baby attaches and burrows into the wall of his/her mother’s womb. Within the next week, blood vessels and sex cells form.  The foundations for the brain, spinal column and nervous system are established. The baby’s heart beat can be heard at one month in the womb. Eyes, ears and lungs begin developing.  Tiny arms and legs and a baby’s face develop over the next seven days, and the blood now pumps separately from the mother. Tiny fingers and toes and the division of the brain into three parts for emotional and language, hearing and seeing develop. Seven more days and brain activity is detectable, 99% of the muscles are present and milk teeth form. By the eighth week, the baby begins to move in the mother’s womb.  Every organ is present, and the skull, elbows and knees begin to form.  If pr...

               What's Your Life Purpose?   While it's true some people seem to find their life purpose easier than others, it's also true that God really does have a plan for every single person, even if it takes a while to see what it is .   Most people think finding your life purpose means doing something you truly love. It's an area that just seems natural to you and things just seem to fall into place. But what if things aren't so clear for you? What if you're not sure what your gifts are? What if you haven't discovered any particular talent that makes you think it could be your true calling in life? Or what if you're working somewhere and you're good at it, but you just don't feel fulfilled? Is this all there is for you?   Don't panic. You're not alone. There are lots of people in the same boat. Take a look at the disciples. Now, there's a diverse group. Before Jesus came on the scene, they were fishermen, tax collectors, farme...

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. God is everything you want in life.                                                       Why you should definitely become a Christian are:                                                                    God is love-It is self explanatory, God gave us his only Son to die for us (jh3:16)because he doesn't want...
