The Potency of the aligned Will

The will expresses its maximum potency when it aligns to the demands of God; when it subjects itself under Divine Will, authority, and rulership. That’s when the potential energy inherent in it is transformed into irresistible kinetic energy that even the body can’t stand. Even a sick body can’t stand a powerful will; the body may slowly whittle on the outside, but the Will sustains it from the inside.

Treasures from the Book of Proverbs 1 verse 12

Today, we take a look at Proverbs 1 verse 12 ‘‘Like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit’’ (ESV). Ruminating over this verse gradually unearths the salient truths which may never be seen at first glance. In a world of extroverts and busy men, wisdom lies in the bosom of the introvert and ‘lazy’; this is not to encourage laziness, rather it is a call for some interiority. Some people rarely have time to calm down, close the door and prayerfully think, and even when they do, it is either a time for anxiety or plotting evil.

The pursuit of success, the desire to make it, the hunger for the peak can sometimes make us forget the reason why we want what we want. I'm not talking about the noble motive of wanting to help humanity, help your family, be famous for your discoveries etc. I'm talking about the godly motive of viewing everything as a means towards glorifying God.

The Curse of Instability: Reuben as a case study

The position of a firstborn in Israel, just like in some families today, was one of honour that comes with her privilege as well as responsibilities. To give you a picture of how valued that position was, recall the weeping of Esau after that Jacob had cunningly taken his blessings. The famous "he that opens the womb."So, Reuben was the firstborn of Jacob and hadn’t any supplanter lurking to steal his blessings. But there was this character, this unstable nature that would deny him his rightful blessings forever.
