#livingholylives



2 Corinthians 7: 1 “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleans ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

Each morning I wake up and the first thought that springs to mind is God. I say “thank You Lord for another day.” Jump out of bed and run the water in my shower. There are times when I feel miserable and just crawl out of my bed but most of the time I am grateful for a brand new day. I say thank You to the LORD for granting me another chance in life.

I respect other religions and I mix with a number of people which are not Christians.  I have learned that we cannot push our faith onto other people who are not interested in Christians. So when they speak to me about their gods I listen and node and make a comment here and there. I serve a Living God and know that should they come to love God the way I do, they would be great ambassadors for His kingdom.  From my point of view I am learning to stay humble. My attitude to people has to have tolerance and I need to love them with the Love of Christ. I am faithful to the Lord my God and will do whatever He wants me to do.

Living a holy life is an instruction from God, be holy as the LORD your God is holy. It’s not easy living a holy live, you need to focus on not swearing, cursing and acting just like “Joe soap.” 

Prayer

Abba Father, I humbly come into Your presence this morning, I pray LORD that I aspire to live a holy life as it is YOUR instruction for my life. I am not always faithful in being Holy and I humbly pray forgive me. Teach me to place a guard over my mouth and keep out the filth and dirt that pours out of it on occasion. I ask this in the name of the LORD Jesus Christ. 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...
