Soak me in your laundry ~ Psalm 51:12 MSG

By Sodwana Bay

Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise. Psalm 51:12 MSG

Because GOD is great…

By Sodwana Bay

Verse of the Day – 1 Chronicles 16:24 MSG Sing to GOD, everyone and everything! Get out his salvation news every day! Publish his glory among the godless nations, his wonders to all races and religions. And why? Because GOD is great—well worth praising! No god or goddess comes close in honor. All the popular gods are stuff and nonsense, but GOD made the cosmos! Splendor and majesty flow out of him, strength and joy fill his place. 1 Chronicles 16:24 MSG Read on the Bible App

Jesus, the Messiah

By Sodwana Bay

With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death. Romans 8:2 MSG

Remember Her!

By Sodwana Bay

Jesus said these words, about a woman who touched his heart… Why not share them today… with someone who’s touched your heart? Your friend, who always seems to have the best advice… Your neighbor, who’s doing a great job raising her kids… That girl you work with, who will always tell you the truth, even when it’s hard… Your sister, who knows you better than anyone — and loves you anyway… Your mom, who will always be a part of you… Your daughter, who inspires you to become a parent who is worthy of her… Your wife, because you can never say, “I love you” too many times…

We’re only fooling ourselves

By Sodwana Bay

He won’t let us down… If we lay down our lives which is filled with sin – He can do His part and tip the bin. If our sin has been forgiven – already – why are we living sinful lives? Our debt have been paid in full!!! If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—make a clean breast of them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God. 1 John 1:9 MSG
