#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

#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...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
