There is a relationship between how well one prepares for an exam by learning properly, and passing it successfully. There is a relationship between a healthy lifestyle and a healthy body.

A delightful thing - what is it? Do you only think of temporary matters, such as the Christmas decoration?

In our daily routines we easily forget that apart from the physical world there is also the spiritual world. The more someone involves God into the life here, the closer the relationship between a person and the Lord, the more God can bless that person. His kingdom is a wonderful, eternal kingdom, that cannot be shaken.

How do you feel, if someone has promised something to you but does not keep it? Some people might be reliable only to a lower, others to a higher degree. But there is one who is always 100% faithful.

Shut in. Locked in. Closed in. Many things might take away our freedom, such as our circumstances, other people, various types of sicknesses, too much work, addictions, and so on. How do you deal with those things?

In the past, often statues made of gold, bronze, stone or other materials have been the idols to which people gave relevance, or they worshipped the sun or other objects. Nowadays in our modern times, what draws your priority attention away from the almighty eternal God who in his grace continually offers us a close relationship? There are many modern idols such as work or leisure, possessions or...

Attention, please! Attention to what? In a world of so many influences, opinions, advertisements and voices, we are forced to filter out and focus on some of them. To what do you give the priority of attention?

Do you also talk of “good days” and “bad days”? Lucky days and unlucky days? Instead of putting our focus on the fate which would make us passive, rather let’s actively see what we can change and impact and most of all let’s focus on the almighty God who is also the Lord over each person’s fate and who offers to help and guide throughout life. He can turn even days that seem to be unlucky ultimate...

The father in heaven is full of love and mercy and he has the best inte...

What do you think about God? Do you think of him in human terms? Some people even think they could judge the eternal creator God, as if they had more knowledge or power than him. Daniel knew that God deserves more honour than any human or thing. The father in heaven controls the times and the seasons. It is him who gives wisdom and understanding.

Supposed you had been seriously sick and someone – e.g. a good doctor – intervened with a major surgery and then guided you and instructed you well how to treat your body so that you got healed – would you not be joyful and thankful towards that person?

If someone is shut in, that often has to do with force and wrongdoing, for example if someone acted against the laws. Similarly, if someone is shut out by people or by other forces. But that is not what the Lord wants for our lives, he wants to help us and finally to give us freedom. The eternal, almighty, merciful God holds the ultimate keys in his hands.
