God uses insignificant people.


2 Kings 5: 6 (ESV)
“And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read, “When this letter reaches you, know that I have sent to you Naaman my servant, that you may cure him of his leprosy.””

Frightened and shocked the messenger moves a couple of steps backwards. In the face of an outraged king, who tore his garments? Who knows what will happen? Elisha hears of this and sends a message to send Naaman to me.

Naaman stands outside the prophet’s house, another messenger is sent out. “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored, and you shall be clean.” Red-faced the commander wants to rush off back to his country. The impudence of this prophet but his servant encourages him to just try it.

Water dripping down the commanders face and tears of joy as he looks at his body, he has been healed. The little girl was instrumental in pointing him in the right direction and God used Elisha.

Prayer

LORD, we are all instruments in Your hands, if there is something we can do for other shows us. Let us be the vessels You use to lead others to You. In the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 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...
