Psalms 42 - 72

 As a deer pants for water, so my soul pants for you oh God. (Ps 42)

Why are you downcast my soul? Praise the Lord our God!(Ps 43)

God is our refuge and strength. Be still and know that I'm God. (Ps 46)

How awesome is the God of all the earth! (Ps 47)

Why should I fear when evil days come? Death is inevitable. For I should not fear for even the rich would not take his riches with him. May I have spiritual eyes to see the Lord my God for who he really is. (Ps 49)

The confession psalm (Ps 51)
For truly my sins are always before me. Cleanse me that I may be whither than snow. Then I will teach others your ways and sacrifices will offered unto to you.

But as for me, I will trust in the Lord (Ps 55).

When I'm afraid, I will trust in you (Ps 56).

I will lie under the wings of God. yet I'm in the mist of lions. My heart is steadfast, my heart is steadfast. WOW! For I need to draw strength from God's power and see that I only need to wait and trust in God. May my fight be the God's fight, my strength be his strength, my glory be his glory. (Ps 57).

save us and help us with your right hand (ps 60) For in God we find salvation for his right hand holds up on high and we find refuge in his arms.

Long to take shelter in your wings (Ps 61). For comparing the Lord to an eagle with its wings extended, surely we can find a home and a sanctuary under Him.

A father to the fatherless and a defender of widows (Ps 68). For to give a voice for those who cannot speak is seen as integrity.

(Ps 69) David shows that even if he's a song of drunkards, he will seek deliverance from God for even his own family have become his enemy. He asks for God's anger to come down on those people and he will continue to praise His Lord.

My mouth is full of your praise. In my old age do not forget. But as for me, I will always have hope and proclaim to mighty presence. Since my youth, you've taught me and so I will continue (Ps 71)

All kings will bow down to the Lord. May his name endure forever. (Ps 72)

Spiritual Intelligence and Leadership

Spiritual Intelligence  is one of the latest buzzwords in the leadership field. It is increasingly recognised that leaders not only need emotional intelligence but also spiritual intelligence. Depending on how we define spiritual leadership, it can be seen as a crucial component of authentic leadership necessary to cope with a dramatically changing world constantly threatened by toxic behaviour. In essence, spiritual intelligence is the quest for better understanding of two key foundation principles of authentic leadership: The inner self : The quest for self-knowledge is a crucial component of inner peace and confidence. Such inner peace is the foundation of authentic behaviour that is not corrupted by compliance with fears, doubts and the corrupted opinion of others. The inner self is a world of self-discovery where the age old question is asked: Who am I? It is the world of seeking after the divine heritage that beats in our souls. The inner self is where we find the c...

Proverbs 1 - The dangers of Foolishness

I was reading this scripture this morning and i couldn't help feeling that I often act like this person. Thinking that I don't have to study my bible and put it into practice is compared to someone laughing at you when trouble comes to your life. It sounds cruel but God's standard was never meant to make us 'feel' good. 26 I also jwill laugh at your calamity; I will mock when kterror strikes you, 27 when terror strikes you like la storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 mThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. 29 Because they chated knowledge and ndid not choose the fear of the Lord,

Earnestly seek Him - Call to change

6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and mthat he rewards those who seek him. I've read this passage a thousand times and it never fails to ring sound doctrine in my heart. Too often I take it for granted that God is not pleased by mere "Lord, Lord" words coming out of my mouth. Too many times I lack effort in putting structures and plans that will drive me towards Him and His grace. I don't often ask myself "How can I grow in drawing near to God?" or "Does my life truly reflects his existence?". It's so easy to get caught up in the "pattern of this world", so easy to be "polluted by this world" David's charge to Solomon (1Chr 28) 9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, zfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be f...
