365 opportunities!

 Psalms  90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.


 The beauty of a new year is the opportunity it brings for a "fresh start", otherwise ,it would just be another normal number of days. Someone posted a message on his timeline " Happy new year, I wish you good use of the 365 opportunities this year affords us", and I thought that's true, a wise man would see a new year as a fresh start for many opportunities. I love the scripture above, it's a Psalm of Moses when the Israelites had left Egypt, I'm pretty sure the Israelites would have had a lot of time to themselves in the wilderness, not being enslaved in Egypt anymore or working under the brutal whip of the Egyptian taskmasters, they definitely might not have had anything important to do with their time, out of this idleness, Moses says to God "...teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom" . Just look at that, Moses prays to God to teach them how to make use of their time, the term "number our days" is an accounting term, it means "plan our time", so Moses was saying "... teach us to plan our time". One of the greatest mistake you can make is making bad use of your time. Time wasted cannot be gotten back. It's a new year, a year with 365 days and 365 opportunities. Make great use of the opportunities in this year. Wishing you a Happy Sunday. πŸ™‹πŸ»‍

Apostle Peter- Running 1

A blend of Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license) about Peter's life and somewhat complex choices and decisions. Sit back, relax, cappuccino and enjoy! And Peter was running again, away from the persecution that had once again broken out against the Church. Jesus had been long gone. He missed Him. He still had nostalgia and goose bumps whenever he remembered just how divine Jesus was. He had seen Jesus do a lot of amazing miracles but none quite like the last one- he and his other folks, some 50 of them watched as Jesus levitated into the heavens until no physical eyes could see him again. He said He was going to heaven and of course that was true- Peter knew now by deep conviction that he'd walked with God Himself. And for some reason he thought himself a friend of God. He knew he was going to see Jesus again sometime soon. There was no debate in his heart about this. He loved Jesus or perhaps God- they were one and the same persons to him now. He ...

PLB Editorial- Cheers 🍻 to life!

Jesus, while speaking to listeners in John 6 talked of them eating his flesh and drinking his blood and how this would forever quench their hunger and thirst. Most of the people who heard this couldn't receive it, it seemed as if Jesus was trying to initiate them into some cult where they'd all be required to be cannibals. Yet Jesus, unapologetic as He always was didn't even try to break it down to their understanding, instead He said "those who hear and learn from my Father come to me". On that day some of His disciples left Him, citing how His teaching and doctrine was too controversial and hard to take. Howbeit none from the popular 12 left. Fast forward to 1Corinthians11:24 and Paul is reiterating the events of the Jesus' last supper with His disciples as He received it from God. Jesus used those words again "this is my body" and "this is the cup of the new testament in my blood" and required of us to break and eat and also to drink. ...
