just some reflections ....

StEdFaSt.............




Over the weekend i went out on a camp to a place in Matopos called STEDFAST, what an experience it was indeed. whilst there i realized something special about existence and the gift of life. [that life is nothing but simply a gift from God to us]

The theme of this camp was entitled 'simply worship' we went through the in depth study of the Psalms of Accent thus from chapters 120-134, it was amazing i tell you. Of essence was the background of how the children of Israel used the Psalms of accents, 'they used them when herding to Jerusalem to worship' Jerusalem was literary reached through ascending up a hill, the fascinating thing also was that there were other shrines along the way of false gods, which other people worshiped. So it literary meant that the children of Israel had to focus on the HILL in Jerusalem where they worshiped the true God

Going through the PSALMS OF ASCENT ENLIGHTENED AND INFORMED ME of what true worship entails, i realized that, 'worship is actually a process we constantly practice in our relationship with God; it is closely associated with how we view our Quiet Time/ Devotional time with God. Worship is a relationship based our knowledge and relationship with God'

"In God rests our adequacy , our understanding and comprehension of WHO God is, under normal circumstances should inform and deepen our quiet time" a muchaka

"our day to day life experiences sets the scene for our quiet time with God, hence our every moment counts" a muchaka

"may we forever diligently seek not to be found guilty of the crime of failing to give God his worth-ship 'worship' so long as we are in existence" a muchaka

"may we continually strive to be men and women who are lovers of God" a muchaka


Psalm 1211

A song of ascents.2


121:1 I look up3 toward the hills.

From where4 does my help come?

121:2 My help comes from the Lord,5

the Creator6 of heaven and earth!

121:3 May he not allow your foot to slip!

May your protector7 not sleep!8

121:4 Look! Israel’s protector9

does not sleep or slumber!

121:5 The Lord is your protector;

the Lord is the shade at your right hand.

121:6 The sun will not harm you by day,

or the moon by night.10

121:7 The Lord will protect you from all harm;

he will protect your life.

121:8 The Lord will protect you in all you do,11

now and forevermore.

  1. there are times we often forget that we are not our own creator. somebody is watching over me day an night.and i fail to say Thank you.... its more than what we cabegin to imagine. what if he went to sleep that very moment i needed him? what will happen to me? what if he turned his back on me just once, what will i do? there is more to God than what our small minds cane think. i love you lord.
