About rupeba


rupeba is short for Ruth and Peter Baronowsky.
We started this website in April 2008 to provide Christian news and teaching in a world dominated by postmodern thinking. Our approach is evangelical, based on the Lausanne declaration.

We  have both been working for the Salvation Army the last thirty years, mainly in the field of education.
1979-1988 we lived in Norway and worked as teachers at the Salvation Army Folk High School.
1988-2009 we were responsible for a Training Institute within the Salvation Army in Sweden. We have during these years had the privilege to travel and speak in meetings and conferences in Scandinavia and in many other parts of the world.
In July 2009 we moved to Riga to be responsible for the Salvation Army work in Latvia.

We have now decided to add a page in English to our website and we hope that you will find it worth reading.

Our e-mail addresses are:
info@rupeba.se
rut@rupeba.se
peter@rupeba.se

"...I shall not be in want."
( Psalm 23:1 NIV)

Devotion:
Yesterday we considered one of the introductory words in the 23rd Psalm. Today’s word is a continuation of yesterday’s and describes the consequences of allowing the Lord to be our Shepherd. The words ’not be in want’ (wanting nothing) can never be ’relative’. One cannot speak about little or much ”nothing”. As soon as one says almost ”nothing”, one has removed themself from the word’s real meaning. Almost nothing is no longer ”nothing”. Nothing stands in direct contrast with ”everything”. If nothing shall be lacking, it means that I shall be provided all I will need. It was this assurance of provision that David claimed when he wrote the well known Psalm. The preceeding word David used is ”shall”. It speaks of the future. David is content in his reliance on God knowing that, if the Lord is his Shepherd, nothing will be lacking him. That something is ”lacking” implies that one is missing something, that there is a deficiency. However, David’s unshakable faith declares that he shall never be in want or ever be lacking any deficit. Lastly comes the small but important word ”I”. David doesn’t believe only in a God in general terms, one Who acts and steers the world on a common plane. David believes in a God who sees the little person and who cares about each little detail in their life. And, this is the God who makes an entry on every page of the Bible. It is this God to whom I want to belong.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being a personal God that cares for each little person who places their faith in You. I want to follow You today, You, my Shepherd, for then I know, I shall lack nothing.
