Psalms 1 - 41

To some Psalms (instruments used during the singing of the worship) is described as bible within bible. A collection of songs of praise written over a period of 1000 years - from Moses to David. Quoted the most in the NT and the OT. For it exposes our hearts and the innest thoughts and feelings that brew as we profess our Lord and Saviour.

Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in trembling. For the Lord our God is majestic. He needs to hounored for he's our refuge and not forget our righteous acts. For we beg God not to punish us in his anger. For cursed is the man who falls in the hand of the living God.

For we need to trust in God's unfailing love and rejoice in his salvation.  For the fool says there's no God. Yet their wickeness will be shown for what it is. For sometimes we feel oppressed from every side. We feel anger brewing in my heart. We're troubled and weak because of the beatings of life. But the Lord is our deliverer, our refuge for the Lord is not far off to save and deliver. Then we shall praise him and exalt his holy name to the nations. For the Lord is my rock.

For the Lord is my Saviour, sheperd and Sovereign King. (Ps 22, 23, 24)

For the Lord alone is the true king. We shall find the mighty king of glory and honour. He is the king of glory. My hope needs to be on Lord all day long. Please Oh lord, don't remember my sins of youth; of my rebelion. Forgive my sins and instruct me in your ways that I may continuously find favour in the eyes of the Lord.

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord for all the days of my life that he may rescue me besides my own father and mother. For the Lord his shelter I only need but wait for Him.

My heart leaps for joy for the Lord is my Saviour and dwells in my heart. The voice of the Lord is majestic and the voice of the Lord needs to be reverred (Ps 29)

His anger last for a moment but his grace last for a lifetime (Ps 30)

Blessed is he whose sin are forgiven for we need to pray to God while you may be found(Ps 32).

Sing with joy and make music to him and sing to him a new song for the Lord loves righteousness and justice. No king is saved by the size of its army. (Ps 33)

Taste and see that the Lord is good. For the fear of the Lord is taught through us keeping from doing evil. (Ps 34)

Even on our bed we plot evil yet God preserves both men and beast (Ps 36)

For like grass they will soon whither but trust in the Lord and the meek will inherit the land. We only need to wait a little while. Better the little the righteous have and the plenty of the wicked. For even a rigteous steps are made firm he might stumble but he doesn't fall. The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord.(Ps 37)
Let me know how fleeting is my life. Each man's life is but a breath (Ps 39)

The law is within my heart. (Ps 40)

My trip back to Europe in ONE word (Part 1/2) - Coronavirus

It was a normal working day on a hot and usually dusty afternoon in Yaounde when I got the call to come and collect my Visa for my upcoming trip to Italy. I was elated. It had been 17 years since I had last seen my foster aunts and cousins. I was beside myself.  I distinctly remember my trip back to wish my father goodbye and how emotional I was because I knew that somehow I will not see him for a long while. I remember the bus trip back to Yaounde and how surreal it all felt (especially since there was a job interview lined up in Munich).   Me on the bus (in the middle of nowhere) on my way back to Yaounde. Clearly I was too excited to sleep (like someone next to me). I was already missing my lovely Cameroon. On the news, the coronavirus (covid-19) was beginning to show its ugly head in Italy and various other neighbouring countries. My aunt even told me to postpone my trip, but it was too late. I was already packed. Don't mess with a black man and his luggage! Me, mysel...

Affirming in Disagreement

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. -  Proverbs 15:1 Do you know how to affirm your spouse even when you disagree? It's a big step in learning how to have meaningful conversations. Take this example: A wife has shared that she is hurt by something her husband has done, and he responds, "I appreciate your sharing your ideas and feelings with me. Now I can understand why you could feel so hurt. If I were in your shoes, I'm sure I would feel the same way. I want you to know that I love you very much, and it hurts me to see you upset. I appreciate your being open with me." This husband has learned the art of affirming his wife even though he may not agree with her perception. Of course, he has a perspective and will eventually share it, but first, he wants his wife to know that he understands what she is saying and can identify with her pain. He is not condemning her interpretation, nor is he telling her that she should not feel up...

Fun time at the Aerospace and Defence Air show

So it was a great time at the airshow whereby Samson got to see favourite toys in 'full-scale' size. This time around, he was accompanied by his cousin which made the event all the more exhausting for the toddler-sitters: my wife and I. Nevertheless, the exciting on their faces was all worth it. I guess the child-like spirit of turning your heads towards the skies, brims with joy and purpose of seeing the great feat of human-kind which has lasting effect. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people making the trip to the airshow when the country is in such a disarray at government level. Then seeing the exciting faces makes you realize that the pride of a nation is not about those you see on TV or hear on radio: It's got to do the spirit of steadfastness and determination in the little (and not so little) boys and girls that have everything invested in seeing this beautifully diverse country succeed and be a land of equal opportunity for all. Let the dreams be ...
