Is God the Center of all we do?




Matthew 6: 33 TLB “and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to.”

How much of your time do you dedicate to the Lord?  I mean sitting down in your “war room” praying, reading your Bible and studying God’s word.  Let us be honest we start early most of us in any case, as you jump out of bed run around getting everything read to leave the house for your job you think, I will break this afternoon and spend some time in God’s presence.

Truth be told, if you didn’t wake up a little earlier and spent the first couple of minutes with God your day will erupt into an avalanche with deadlines to meet etc.  I know, juggling washing, cleaning and ironing and running errand’s takes up a lot of your time.  

Did you find that 10 minutes to spend with God?  Did you sit down and read the Word of God, meditated on it and the prayed for your family and friends?  We are so tired that many of the time we just hop into bed, turn the light out and say a quick prayer, and off to sleep.

As I think about the words of Matthew “and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life …” It is clear even in Matthew’s time they needed to make a definite commitment in coming into the LORD’s presence.  Making the LORD first place in my life is something I am working on, are you?


Prayer

Lord thank You, for being kind and compassionate towards each one of us today.  Thank You, that we may meditate and focus on Your word.  Thank You, for helping each one of us and showing us the way forward.  As we start our day, LORD help us to make You, the primary go-to person in our lives, help us commit to You 100%.  Please help us today 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...

#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...
