#snitch



2 Kings 6: 11 – 14
“And the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled
because of this thing, and he called his servants and said to them,
“Will you not show me who of us is for the king of Israel?”
And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king;
but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel
the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
And he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him.”
It was told him, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
So he sent there horses and chariots
and a great army, and they came by night
and surrounded the city.”

When I was reading this passage in 2 Kings 6 I had to laugh.  Imagine talking to your wife or husband confidentially and everything you told them come to light?  I would believe that someone was standing by the door and eavesdropping.

The Syrian King was upset and he even asked his servants who was telling all his secret plans to seize the King of Israel, was there a snitch in the place?

I must be honest and tell you that I would love to know what the enemy is planning against me so that I know how to get away from it.  Elisha was a voice of God speaking to the King of Israel warning him against disaster and sudden attacks.

I believe the moment we come into sink with God the Holy Spirit creates awareness within us against disaster and sudden attack.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, O LORD my God, thank You for the Holy Spirit that creates awareness within us of any dangers that may come our way.  Thank You for keeping us save and watching over us.  Thank You for keeping me under the umbrella of your loving kindness and supernatural favor in our lives.  In the name of 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...
