Before anything else, this is not a small matter. This is one of God’s requirements for us. It is not negotiable. Its meaning cannot be reimagined or reinterpreted to suit our own preferences. It is most definitely not a suggestion. These are instructions from God Himself—truth spoken to us sincerely, telling us...]]></description><link>https://www.theafrikaneramerican.online/post/perfecting-holiness-let-us-pause-and-meditate-on-this</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ec63fd04fc81dfe25b3e8f</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 06:58:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f26e0e_9296c20f55ae474190768ed6a3083565~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mariaan Henning</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is our refuge]]></title><description><![CDATA[Psalm 31:1 — A Meditation Before We Pray “In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in Your righteousness.” Today, let us meditate together on this powerful verse before we pray. This is King David crying out — the King of Israel, appointed by God. A man with resources, armies, wealth, and earthly power. By human standards, he had everything many people would envy. Yet the Bible says he cried out. What did he cry? “In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge…...]]></description><link>https://www.theafrikaneramerican.online/post/a-meditation-before-we-pray</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e878688b2f11ff8e5b5e66</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:28:21 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f26e0e_66340bc25e55402191d2bc6989d85e6f~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mariaan Henning</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Bible says in Proverbs 1:7 that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Before we pray together, let us meditate on what this truly means. Throughout the book of Proverbs — and indeed throughout Scripture — much is said about wisdom. We are reminded again and again of how important wisdom is to the Christian walk. But we cannot talk about wisdom without first understanding where it begins: the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 4:7 tells us,...]]></description><link>https://www.theafrikaneramerican.online/post/devotional-the-fear-of-the-lord-is-the-beginning-of-wisdom</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e870a8e7eb043b298fe46d</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:07:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f26e0e_c178162db6674273bebfd71658b5c33f~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mariaan Henning</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lord will guide you always]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the greatest guarantees we have as believers and children of the Lord is this: our Father leads us. Scripture reminds us of this truth countless times. One beautiful promise is found in Isaiah 58:11: “The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” This is not an isolated promise.

The Bible presents prayer as a rich and varied practice, showing that there is no single way to talk to God. Scripture includes prayers of praise, thanksgiving, repentance, supplication, intercession, and worship, each reflecting different seasons of life and spiritual needs. From David’s heartfelt psalms to Jesus’ model prayer, the Bible reveals how believers can approach God with...]]></description><link>https://www.theafrikaneramerican.online/post/what-are-the-different-types-of-prayers-in-the-bible</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dfdc6c934ce577916fd233</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:05:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f26e0e_6a388565a7c247fbad3444b15c650c0c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mariaan Henning</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Finding Victory in Thanksgiving]]></title><description><![CDATA[I suddenly felt happy. It started when I learned to let go. I finally said to God, "Whether You do this for me or not, I am here." When I surrendered my expectations, it became easier to see the things He was already doing. Then, the doors began to open. The Example of Habakkuk The Prophet Habakkuk understood this struggle. In Habakkuk 3:17-19, he describes a total loss of resources: No blossoms on the fig tree. No grapes on the vines. The olive crop fails.
