“Calm the storm within your own life.” #Holy #Spirit #Love #Sanctuary


Exodus 25: 8
“8 Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.”

God is dwelling among us right now.  I believe the minute we have received the Lord Jesus as our God and savior He comes into our lives, living within us.  We are set apart and we need to be reminded that God chose each one of us.

Remember God called you by name, you are His.  We are sealed with the Holy Spirit and that makes each one of us different and Holy.

It is my heart’s desire to draw near to God each and every day.  I want to become more and more like the Lord Jesus, and I know I have the ability.  My challenge is practicing and focusing on this each and every day.  I don’t want my relationship to be a religious practice and I don’t want to be someone doing everything out of habit.  My habits are almost set in stone, I stick to what I am used to.

Over the weekend I received a word from God telling me to “Calm the storm!  Turn back to the Lord Jesus.”  I have been so busy with all kinds of things, cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, washing, and ironing.  The list goes on and on, I am physically tired when I go to bed.  I just don’t seem to have a 5-minute break, I am constantly moving. 

May you “calm your storm” today and turn your focus back to the Lord Jesus.  Build a sanctuary for the Lord God to come and inhabit.  Let God take residence in Your life, life with you and make you holy. 

Prayer

O Lord God, as you instructed the Israelites to build You a sanctuary so that You could take up residence with them and be in the midst of the Israelites, today we pray.  Holy Spirit comes and take up residence within our lives.  We are living stones and we sacrifice our selfishness to You asking to forgive us.  In Jesus Holy Name.  Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
