Planning for New Year

It’s a delightful time to have you with us. This is our second session, which I have titled “Planning for 2026.” I am here to help us adopt a few practical steps as we prepare for the year 2026. One of the questions I asked was: Why plan? Today’s session gave me insightful responses. Here are the key words that stood out: Areas we are working on or building Adjustment Achievement Goals Priority Where are we going (vision) or what we want to achieve Tracking and record keeping Guidance Accountability All these words carry significant weight when it comes to planning.

The Double Revelation: Unpacking Psalm 19

Image
Psalm 19, penned by David, offers a profound exploration of how God makes Himself known to humanity. This ancient text reveals a dual pathway of divine communication: through the vast expanse of creation and the precise clarity of His written law. Part One: God's Voice in the Cosmos (Psalm 19:1-6) The initial verses of Psalm 19 speak to what is often termed "general revelation" or "natural revelation." This is the continuous, universal declaration of God's existence and attributes through the visible universe. Imagine a temporary structure, like a tent, constantly moving across the sky.
