Monsters

Proverbs 4: 33 ‘The LORD’S curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.’ Darlings today is Christmas and there are monsters around us, monsters of loneliness, of heartache and pain.   Come into the Lord’s presence and pray with me that the Holy Spirit will fill your hearts and minds, draw near to the Lord and see how He will lift you up today.   May you enjoy a day filled with love, peace, happiness and most of all fellowship with people close to you.   May you enjoy the company of someone special in your life today.  Lord Jesus, in humbleness I pray for the blessings on my home, I pray Lord for Your Holy Spirit to come and live in my heart.   Lord I dedicate my husband and children into Your hands and I dedicate my own life into Your hands.   Lord praying for the people who are facing monsters of loneliness, monsters of heartache and monsters of pain.   Take these monsters away and fill them with Your Lo...

Christmas day, 25 December 2012 07h30 RSA

Yvette van Niekerk - 3 September 2010 Micah 5: 2 - 5a ‘But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.   Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when she who is in labour gives birth and the rest of his brothers’ return to join the Israelites. He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his GOD.   And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth, and he will be their peace.’ Shalom my darlings, its Christmas morning and the house is quiet the kids are asleep, my husband is asleep.   Birdie is signing in her little cage, the dogs are still sleeping.   I have been up since 5h00 this morning, I wanted to make the potato salad for today, wash the dishes of last night and tidy up the house before we leave for ...

Lord Almighty God direct my paths

Proverbs 3: 6 ‘in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.’ Darlings I want to encourage you to stop and think about this.   ‘In all your ways acknowledge him,’ Lord Almighty God I want to acknowledge You today in every aspect of my life, my waking up in the morning, my morning shower, the warm water pouring down my back, the fresh smelling soap I use, the fragment shampoo and conditioner.   Brushing my own teeth, combing my wet hair, drying off with a nice clean towel and getting dressed.   How blessed am I Lord, how blessed am I.   I want to acknowledge You Lord in my life this morning, I want to say thank You Lord that I have all these pleasures, I am able to go to a job and work for a couple of hours.   I dedicate my job today into Your hands, Lord I thank You for Your supernatural favour, Lord I dedicate my husband and the children into Your hands.   I acknowledge You in being with them and protecting them. ...

The end of the world

Hello Darlings, it was supposed to be the end of the world yesterday 21 December 2012, but hey here we are still doing the same old thing.  I was thinking about that and it reminded me of the passage I read in the new testament where the disciples ask the Lord Jesus when the end of the world would be.  I remember it saying that it would be the same as in the days of Noah, people will still be getting married, having babies and buying and selling.  We all will be doing our own thing, but there is one thing we wont know and it is to know when the Lord will be returning to come and get us all. So praise the Lord for another day, year and many more to come, we have so much to be grateful of, I have a beautiful home, a wonderful husband, beautiful children and grandchildren. I am just wondering if it really was the end of the world, what would we be doing differently?  Perhaps we would be kinder towards each other, perhaps we will go and make peace with our friends an...

Wants vs needs

Good morning Darlings, what an awesome day it is today, getting up early and starting my day in humble prayer before the Lord God.   I sit in my bed and read through my daily devotions and then I take my Bible and read something in Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs and John.   This takes up about an hour of my reading.   I then pray and ask the Lord for guidance and pray that the Lord God will anoint my head so that I can face the day.   I get out of bed open the showers hot water tap and wait for it to warm up before I step in and take my hot shower.   I feel refreshed and ready to face the day.   My darling husband is still sleeping.   After I dry myself off I get dressed and dry my hair and put my makeup on.   Go to the kitchen make some coffee and lunch and then get ready to go to work.    On my way to work I read one of the novels and by the time I get to work I am well read.   Walking into my office I greet my manager, and c...

Beggars

Hello Darlings, how awesome is our Lord, we have the ability to speak to each other and enjoy each other’s company.   The Lord has blessed each one of us with wisdom and insight and knowledge, we all have a great word to speak and the Holy Spirit inspires each one of us to go and do our jobs. I have been thinking about the people that are less fortunate than we are and my heart goes out to them today.   I find in our country the hardship of poverty and the pain that goes hand in hand with it.   I have heard it said that with poverty a bad smell follows.   Looking at our lives and thinking about it, yes it is true were poverty is there you will find a smouldering dull stink. We have many white people sitting on the side of the road begging for money, they are burnt up from the hot sun, their skin looks like leather; they are dark brown with greying hair.   Their cloths are old and many times too big for them.   They have fallen on hard times; t...
