What do you feel like today?



Hebrews 4: 12 “His word can cut through our spirits.”


I always crave something nice to eat and I love sweeties.  Chocolates and all kinds of candy, I know that it is bad for me but I just love it all the same. Reading my Bible takes time and I had to pray to God to create an appetite for God’s Word in my own life.

You know I get up really early in the morning my alarm goes off at 5 am and my lift picks me up at 5H40.  I need to shower every day, wash my hair, make lunch for my husband get dressed and put on some make up.  Then I don’t leave my house if my bed isn’t made. I cannot come home tonight at 5H50 pm and find my bed’s not made. I think I would lose it.

So where on earth do I find time to read my Bible? I have to read my Bible I feel this is my spiritual food and I need encouragement each and every day. You don’t know me I am very needy especially when it comes to God. I always want to know stuff and I want to grow spiritually.

I have come to a place in my life and I know how things work, if I really want something, I make it my business in obtaining it. Nothing will stand in my way and I get what I want. You may say that you just don’t have time for Bible each day, besides you are busy with all kinds of things and yes you have to also clean your own house. So do I, but I have come to realise the hour travelling to work gives me ample time to read God’s Bible. I learn from it, there are times I am just to tired and sleep on my way to work but most of the time I read my Bible and I feel that I am growing spiritually.

Today I want to encourage you to “feel like reading your Bible” start with a page a day and see how far you get. Before you realise it you would have read more than you anticipated.

Prayer

O Lord create in me an appetite to read the Bible more and more and create a spirit within me to crave Your word. Nourishing my soul and teaching me what I need for each day. Lord without You I fear I will not make it. Bless my friends today and watch over each and every one of us, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 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 ...
