Every day in the wilderness the Israelites had experienced God's miraculous provision of food in the form of manna. In the morning everyone had gathered as much as they needed for that day - and there was always enough. No one went hungry. Today's guest article is a gentle but powerful reminder not to forget God’s faithfulness—and to tell the next generation what He has done.

I recently re-watched the epic iceberg collision scene in James Cameron's 1997 movie "Titanic." "Hard a starboard," shouted the helmsman as he frantically turned the wheel. "Full astern," shouted 1st Officer Murdoch as his calm demeanor turned to grim shock. Despite the last-minute maneuver, the crew of the RMS Titanic was unable to avoid grazing the starboard side of the gigantic ship. Today's Verse Vital asks an important question: saved from what?

The eighth psalm reminds me of a delicious sandwich. But it's a very different kind of food—one not prepared in the kitchen by human hands, but instead inspired by the Spirit of the living God as spiritual food to satisfy the deepest longings of the human soul. Today's Verse Vital reflects on Psalm 8:9—the majestic name of the Lord in all the earth.

God is actively working towards achieving His great purpose in our lives. The highs and lows, joys and struggles are all included as part of what God is doing. Sometimes, what God is doing—as well as allowing in our lives—won't always make sense or be immediately clear to us. But "those who love God" will trust Him because they know what He is like. Today's Verse Vital explores the revealed truths of Romans 8:28.

We give standing ovations, Hall of Fame inductions, statues, and grand celebrations to mark significant achievements. Yet there is often sharp disagreement about who or what truly deserves honour. The gap between differing views seems to have widened. While some honours still celebrate genuine sacrifice and service, others can feel misplaced or even absurd. Today's article asks an important question that seeks to draw meaningful answers from the Scriptures.

While raising polite kids is important, the real task of parenting is to help them fix their eyes on Jesus — the fountain and source of all things good, the chief end of our gratitude. But the attitude of gratitude does not come naturally to humans. In a world full of selfishness, it is an attitude that desperately needs to be modelled, learnt, and practised. Today's reflection on Psalm 107:1 directs us back to the One who gives us every good reason to be a thankful people.

Imagine waking up one morning to discover you've been transformed into a giant bug — like a large cockroach. Believe it or not, this is the plot of The Metamorphosis — Franz Kafka’s fictional novella first published in 1915. Read more to discover inner transformation initiated by God.

In the summer of 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte launched an invasion of Russia with a huge army numbering 600,000 soldiers. Fresh from military successes across Europe, Bonaparte proudly marched forward—his fearsome reputation going before him. Napoleon's unchecked hubris was soon to be shattered. But what was his undoing?

The Bible is filled with stories of people who hit rock bottom. It never presents a rose-tinted picture of human struggles. Instead, it paints a truthful and vivid picture of mankind's deepest flaws and struggles. In fact, the Bible's greatest heroes are shown as ordinary people often carrying deep emotional pain and plenty of flaws—often caused by their own folly and sinful actions; at other times completely outside of their control.

Do you frequently forget things? I do. I often need continuous reminders. Fortunately, I have caring individuals (my wife and kids) and smart technology to nudge me. If I forget crucial things, various problem arise. However, when I stay organised and remember all the important tasks ahead, I feel confident and prepared to tackle the week ahead.

The first part of Genesis 1:3 is often overlooked. If glanced over casually—without slow and deliberate reading—the phrase “And God said…” will just seem like ordinary words. The depth and impact can easily be missed. Yet, contained within these three words is the Bible's first insight into the nature of the greatest Being: the God who speaks.

This opening verse invites the audience not to scientific scrutiny or philosophical pondering, but to worshipful witnessing.

When I began reading the Bible in my teens, this Proverb was among the first I recall memorising. A dear friend and Christian brother—by the name of Shadrach—directed me to it. To this day, it is one of the scriptures firmly etched on this often forgetful memory.

When I was about twenty years of age, I wrote a poem. I didn't have a particular love for poetry, nor an understanding of the art form. I had just read Hebrews 12:3 for the first time and remember feeling floored. The poem titled "For Consider Him" is partially lifted from the complete verse, which reads, "For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls."
