Who’s the Boss?


2 Corinthians 5: 7

“For we walk by faith,
not by sight.”

This is a brand New Year and I am still not quite sure what I am going to be doing.  Yes, I have a couple of ideas in place and I have written my goal list down for 2018. I sit here thinking “Yvette, who is the Boss?” If I think that I am the Boss, I am totally mistaken. When I read the scripture above I know that I am not the Boss because I am constantly drawing my strength, my wisdom and my insight from someone very important in my life.

Who is that? You may ask, well the only one that can help me, I believe is God. I cannot make it through this year without God.

Consider this, you decided you are going to do this, that and the other and at the last minute something happens and all your plans fall down the drain. You planned everything to a “T” and then before you could activate it, something happens. Now tell me who is the Boss? I don’t think you are, nor am I.

I realized something, if we were able to predict what was going to happen tomorrow and know our every step going forward, would we be on our knees praying to God? NO! We would think we know everything, we will act without God.

Today it is my prayer that when you plan your year that you will remember that God is still in control and yes plan but remember to invite God to your planning session.

Prayer

Lord Almighty God, thank You, that I am able to step out in faith and believe that You are with me each and every step of the way. Yes, I don’t know what’s around the next corner or what is going to happen to me. But I do believe that things will work out just fine. You know that I am dependent on You and I am asking You help me each day. In the Holy 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...

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 ...
