“Fulfill your promise to your servant.”


Psalm 119: 38-40
Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.
Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.
How I long for your precepts!
In your righteousness preserve my life.

Something to ponder, if God exists why is there so much misery in this world? I was thinking about it and I think it because many of us do not believe in God. God states in the Word (Bible) that we must believe.

Looking at people I can see when people worship God and when they don’t. I see the dull look in their eyes and they always complain and have nothing to add to this life. People all around them are at fault and nothing will get better. There isn’t a God because if there were things would be better. If you ask them if they believe in God, they most probably won't say yes. They have an answer to that question too.

Then I see people who love God, they talk about Him, the worship and adore Him. They see the good in life and try and make things better for the people around them. They go the extra mile never expecting any reward for any of there good deeds.

I believe the difference is the spirit that inhabits each one of us, if we have “God-like” spirits (Holy Spirit indwelling) we will show compassion, be kind, gentle to name but a few. The other will be mean and self-centred they cant help it that is what they are. Until they have a personal meeting with the Lord nothing will change, you won't change them.

Prayer
Lord as we deal with people in our lives, give us the necessary wisdom and insight to treat people with love and respect. Please establish Your Word in our hearts, souls and minds. We suffer because we don’t believe, help us move forward and stop looking back. Help us grow spiritually, Holy Spirit come and fill our hearts and souls, making us acceptable before the Father in Jesus Christ's name. 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...
