“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14 When life corners you; Pharaoh behind you, the Red Sea before you, and fear in your chest, remember: cul-de-sacs are God’s specialty. What looks like a trap is often the stage for His glory. When you see no way out, He parts seas. When you hear chariots, He silences them with waves. His favor isn’t passive, it’s a mighty force that shifts atmospheres and rewrites outcomes. You are not abandoned. You are cradled in the arms of the God who never loses battles. Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” Not if, when. He doesn’t promise detours around trouble. He promises His presence through it. Let the armies rage and the waters rise. Your deliverance doesn’t depend on odds, it depends on God. And His favor will always make a way, even in the dead ends.
This is the air I breathe Your holy presence living in me This is my daily bread This is my daily bread Your very word spoken to me And I I'm desperate for you And I I'm I'm lost without you https://music.apple.com/za/album/breathe-live/303181946?i=303181965
Happy Birthday, my boy Siyabonga! My heart overflows with pride today. You’re not just my only son; you’re my joy, my legacy, and my daily reminder that God is faithful.

There are days I’ve felt caged by pressure, buried under responsibility, and backed into corners I didn’t choose. But today I declare: God is bringing me out. Not just out of survival, but into a spacious place; a realm of clarity, of peace, of supernatural provision. He’s rescuing me not because I’ve done everything right, but because He delights in me. That’s what blows my mind; He takes joy in me even when I’m weary, even when I’m undone. Heaven isn’t far. It’s fighting for me. Doors are opening that I didn’t knock on. Chains are breaking that I couldn’t shake off alone. I may have walked through fire, but I’m coming out refined, not destroyed. I’m stepping into wide open space, into the future God authored before I was born. I am not forgotten. I am favored. I am free.

A Soviet-era spacecraft, Kosmos 482, reentered Earth’s atmosphere on Saturday after spending 53 years in orbit following a failed 1972 mission to Venus. Originally stranded due to a rocket malfunction, its titanium-encased spherical lander—built to withstand Venus’s harsh environment—was the final component to fall. The spacecraft’s descent was uncontrolled, and the exact reentry location remains unknown. Scientists had warned some or all of the 495kg lander might survive reentry, though the risk to people was considered minimal. Its durability and unpredictable path drew global attention.

“Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: ‘Go, gather together all the Jews… Fast for me. I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.’” – Esther 4:15–16 “If I perish, I perish.” Those are not words of the weak, they are the roar of my surrender. Today, I stand like Esther, fully aware of the risk, yet anchored in the call. I’ve fasted. I’ve prayed. I’ve emptied myself of fear and filled myself with faith. This is not about survival, it’s about obedience. About stepping into rooms my ancestors could only dream of. Even when the outcome is uncertain, I walk forward, not because I feel ready, but because I know I’m sent. If I perish, I perish… but I refuse to miss my moment. God placed me here for such a time as this, and I will not stay silent. Heaven backs the bold. And today, I am bold.

Buzzwords that are stretched to the point of being meaningless are as old as the tech industry itself. The top current one is “AI agent” and its variants, like “agentic.” So, unsurprisingly, no one really knows what an AI agent is. Even people with software engineering backgrounds who work for Andreessen Horowitz, one of the premier venture capital firms madly funding AI startups, say that there’s no agreed-upon definition.

Long portraying itself as the world’s climate leader, Europe is facing a fierce backlash against one of its key steps to reduce planet-warming emissions. Only four years ago, this continent bet on an electric car revolution that it thought could be both environmentally friendly and profitable. The European Union’s political leaders proposed a 2035 ban on new gas and diesel car sales by citing the “generational task” of saving the planet. They said the forward-thinking policy would also put the continent and its automakers at the forefront of innovation. But the transition is unfolding more chaotically — and with more trade-offs — than Europe had hoped. The continent’s auto industry is cutting jobs and struggling to compete with China, whose companies can produce EVs at a lower cost. Read more: https://wapo.st/3Zgw9HU
