# rewiring my focus on the Lord Jesus Christ




Romans 13:10 New English Translation (NET Bible)
10 Love does no wrong to a neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfilment of the law.

Thinking about the function of rewiring anything, you need to take out all the old wires and then start replacing each wire one at a time.  This is a process and there may be turns and bends in awkward places.  I think about my own life right now and I believe God is really busy working in my own life.  I have never really felt the need to rewire my life according to the Word of God.  I was always under the impression that I was just fine.

This year I have come to a place in my life where I realized that I really and truly need ‘rewiring’ and this rewiring needs to come from the Lord my God.

Out of my own strength I doubt that I would be even able to change my viewpoint on any matter.  During this year I have begun with Bible reading, focusing on the New Testament.  My heart’s desire is to ‘first find the kingdom of God’.  This is where the rewiring will have to come in.


I pray each day that the Holy Spirit will inspire me, guide me and place a guard in front of my mouth.  I seem to mouth off and say hurtful things to people.  The more I focus on changing my way of talking the bigger problems I cause.  So note to you and self:  don’t try this on your own, speak to the Holy Spirit.  Ask for help.

This rewiring is taking a while, but I feel hopeful and believe God is working and the rewiring will be done in due course.  I realize that I cannot make the right changes, because I don’t know what really needs to be changed.  God is in control and will rewire me mind, and soul according to His will. 
In the meantime I need to love and doing this I am fulfilling the law.  

You are a blessing.

Prayer
Abba Father, O Lord my God to my mind I don’t believe I am capable of rewiring my own mind and focusing only on You.  I need Your help today, please Holy Spirit help me.  In Jesus name amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
