Are you single-minded and totally devoted to God?




Matthew 6: 24a “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.  & Matthew 22: 37 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”


This is the second part to our question “Is God the center of all we do?”  Many times people say things like “you are so consumed with talking about God, isn’t there any other topic that interest you?”  Yes, I have other interesting topics I can talk to you about but I love to bring God into the picture.  It is natural for me to talk about God and how I see the situation from a bible perspective.  

It frustrates many people and it also irritates them, they feel disconnected and angry with me at times.

Do you know what I am talking about?  Are you able to relate to my thinking, I love the LORD and it comes out in my conversations and I am constantly trying to teach you something?  So being friends with me might frustrate you because I am seen as a freak and total nut-case.  

I want to take this time and encourage you to stay focused and trust in God, He knows what is best for you.  So hang in there and do not back down on placing God first.  If you are like me, single-minded and totally devoted to God then you will find push-back from people.

Prayer

Abba Father, You know that I am single-minded and that I cannot always discuss matters of the world because I am not interested in what’s happening in the world.  I confess that I feel in adequate when it comes to worldly matters but I feel comfortable when speaking about You.  Help me understand people, and see them through Your eyes.  Bless them and keep each one of them safe.  In Jesus Christ’s 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...
