God’s Unlimited Power

I was chatting to my friends about how to save power on our phones. I said before I go to sleep, my phone is usually fully charged. I've noticed when I wake up in the middle of the night to check the time on my phone, the battery  power is no longer 100%.  I believe it's because my phone automatically backs up data when the phone is idle, which requires power.  I had a theory that if I switched off the wifi, the phone will not be able to backup, as it needs wifi to do so. Last night, I tested that theory.  Before I went to bed, I turned off the wifi on my fully charged phone to see if I can save power that way. After a while I checked my phone's power and noticed the battery was slightly depleted. It was then I remembered that the moment I switch off the wifi, the 5G network kicks in, which is faster than the usual wifi. As London has a wide coverage of 5G, I have constant access to the Internet wheher my wifi is switched on or not.  The only way to save power i...

On Being a Student

In my dream this morning, I was a student again. I didcovered I had two essays due in two days. I went looking for my course tutor to ask for an extension. My extenuating circumstances were I had been ill and hadn't attended lectures. I told him I  had already provided medical evidence. While I was waiting for the tutor to decide, I woke up from the dream. Thank God it wasn't real! I work with a lot of GenZs and they tell me they have used AI to help them write their essays.  In my student days, there was no such thing as the Internet. You had to do your own research and write it without any aids. When you finish writing the essay, you had to print it out and take it to the office, hand it in and make sure it was received before the deadline time or you'll be penalised. I wouldn't want to be a student again then or now. I prefer the teachings I am now receiving daily from the Holy Spirit about how to walk by faith in Christ and not by sight. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible vers...

Changeless and Forever New

On this podcast, this music producer was being interviewed about his music. They discussed how his music has changed over the years and how the way people consume music has also changed because of technology.  However, the producer's passion for making music hasn't changed. It got me thinking of the paradox of God, the Creator, the source of all creativity. On the one hand, God never changes, and on the other hand, He is forever new. In other words, God's attributes are changeless, but the way He expresses His attributes are always new. The Bible teaches us that His mercies are new every morning. (Lamentations 3: 22-23) That means God's infinite attributes are constantly being expressed through His children in new ways.  Imagine that!  Every day, God is expressing through us new blessings, new ideas, new life, new light, new joy, new love, new peace, new revelations, new wonder...etc. What a wonderful God we have! ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "Through the Lord’s...

Open My Eyes

Image
For the last two years I've been working on and off at this art gallery and never noticed this tree right opposite the building. I finally  noticed it yesterday and took a photo. It got me wondering - how many good things am I not seeing that are right under my nose?  Open my eyes, Lord, so I can see all the wonderful gifts You have in store for me. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law." Psalm 119: 18

My Little Friend

So I bought a scoop of salted caramel ice cream and sat down to enjoy it. After I finished, I remained in the same spot basking in the sunshine. When  I spotted this wasp hovering, I said to him, "Mr Wasp, can I have a photo?" "Of course, Miss," he said. "Do you mind if I have your leftovers?" "Help yourself!" While my little friend was licking the tub, I took his photo. I love wasps, they are such delightful creatures. ❤️
