2 Samuel 6:14-15 Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets. “Praise, Worship and Thanksgiving are the highest expressions of prayer”. Bible Scholars and theologians have classified prayers into nine broad categories but the highest form of prayer is “praise and worship”. It is not only the highest form of prayer but also the first and foremost prayer station that opens the gates of the tabernacle for us to enter into His Holy Presence....

Ecclesiastes 3:10 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. In God’s economy “clocks, calendar and calculators” start and stop at God’s command. Ten out of ten times we understand God’s clock, calendar and calculator, retrospectively. Yet He makes everything, not something but everything beautiful at the right time. Peacocks are one of the most attractive and beautiful birds but when they are born they are in shades of brown, tan, or gray, with a light belly. The peachicks are not born with the...

Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ In God’s economy “clocks, calendar and calculators” start and stop at God’s command. The Lord has finished the autobiography of our life even before we were born. In God’s calendar the disappointments, delays and derailments are designed to accomplish His design and His dream for us. No experience is wasted for a child of God. The detentions we face are God’s boot camp for promotions. The Lord did not forget about Moses...

John11:39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” In God’s economy “clocks, calendar and calculators” start and stop at God’s command. God’s calendar and God’s clock never misses an appointment and is never too late. Our ways are not His ways, or our thoughts His thoughts. However, many times we tend to think that God has got His timing wrong. When the answer is delayed, He is working on the mighty miracle. When the days of struggle seem to move...

Matthew 25:16-17 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. In God’s economy “clocks, calendar and calculators” start and stop at God’s command. God’s calculator has a key labeled “double” that doubles our efforts and endeavors. The Lord rewards hard work, and integrity. High return investments could be about 10%, but God’s calculator has a button that yields 100% returns. Jesus explains the way the “divine calculator” works in the “The Parable of the Bags of Gold”....

Deuteronomy 28:5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. In God’s economy “clocks, calendar and calculators” start and stop at God’s command. The keys in God’s calculator are very different from the Japanese calculator that we use. It has keys such as “bless”, “bounty” and “bubble” that the human calculator does not have. Hence, if we try to calculate God’s provision with the Japanese calculator we will live in anxiety and fear about our finances. While it is important to be thrifty with our finances, it is also important to trust Him for supernatural provision according to His promises. If God gives...

Acts 16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. In God’s economy “clocks, calendar and calculators” start and stop at God’s command. As God’s wall clock struck twelve midnight, the angels of the Lord started shaking the foundations of the city of Phillipa where Paul and Silas were flogged, severely beaten, and imprisoned. Angels are very experienced ‘earthquakers’. They shook the foundations of the walls of Jericho and collapsed it centuries ago for Joshua and his fighting men. They did the same to Phillipa. The hands of God’s clock come together...

Acts 16:7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. In God’s economy “clocks, calendar and calculators” start and stop at God’s command. God’s wall clock ticks at God’s pace not with the world’s race. It is important to understand that God lives outside the laws of space, time and matter. Walking closely hand in hand with the Lord will help us to understand God’s clock, God’s calendar and God’s calculator. In Paul’s missionary journey, there was a dark phase where he struggled to align with God’s clock and...
14 October 2025 – Le Rêve – Part 7
Isaiah 51:3 The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden. “Le Rêve” means ‘The Dream’ in French. In the year 2006, Steve Wynn, the owner of the painting, due to his poor eyesight, accidentally punctured the painting with his elbow and caused a visible tear. Before the unfortunate incident he had a contract to sell the painting for $139 million but this sale deed fell through because of the damage. However, it was restored by an unnamed “art surgeon” for $90,000....

Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. “Le Rêve” means ‘The Dream’ in French. The Le Rêve is considered as a masterpiece of one of the most famous and influential artists, Pablo Picasso. It is one of the highly priced paintings due to its intimate connection to Picasso’s personal life and passionate romance with his mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter. The personal connection of the painting with the artist has made Le Rêve priceless. We are God’s priceless possessions as we were hand knit by the Creator. We were not...
