The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness,
Earlier in the morning, I had the chance to ask my President a few questions, and if there's one thing you can always count on, it's that he'll never miss an opportunity to crack a joke but somehow, in between the laughter, he still manages to leave you with something to think about and, more importantly, something to inspire you.
Later, I put H.E @edwinsifuna on the spot. No safe questions. No rehearsed answers. Just a real conversation on law, politics, leadership, young people and the Kenya we want to build.
Which answer caught you off guard? 👀👇🏾#kadidefrancy #sisindiosifuna #LindaMwananchi
25 year old Ellen Kawila has built a real time Kenya debt clock tracking borrowing, spending and debt per citizen.
This clip is only three minutes long.
So I opened my Bible this morning like I always do. No bookmark. No theme. No plan. Just opened it and started reading.
And I about fell out of my chair.
My eyes landed on a verse I have read before but clearly never felt.
Isaiah 45:3
“I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.”
Treasures.
Of darkness.
That stopped me.
There are things you learn in grief you will never learn in comfort. There is authority forged in suffering that cannot be manufactured on a stage. There is intimacy with God that only grows when everything else has been stripped away.
Hidden riches.
Not obvious blessings. Not flashy miracles.
Hidden.
There is depth being built in you that applause could not sustain.
The darkness is not your grave.
It is your treasury.
And when God brings you out, you will not just be relieved.
You will be refined. You will be stronger. You will know Him in a way you never could have if the lights had stayed on.
I thought I was randomly opening my Bible this morning.
But Heaven had an appointment.
And if you needed this today, maybe it was not random for you either💗
A family in Kariobangi South is desperately searching for their two young children who went missing on Wednesday at around 5:00pm.
