Sealed with a kiss


Mark 14: 44 – 46 AMP

“Now the betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away safely [under guard].”  When Judas came, immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi (Master)!” and he kissed Him [forcefully]. They laid hands on Him and seized Him.”

Judas walked into the garden of Gethsemane and saw the Lord Jesus. He walked up the Lord Jesus and kissed Him. The sign was given and Jesus was arrested. Sometimes we don’t even see how treacherous people are. We trust them and believe they have our best at heart when they actually are plotting against us.

The Lord knew Judas was going to betray Him. He spoke about it and was actually waiting for Judas. I wonder what Judas was thinking when he walked up to the Lord Jesus. You deserve everything that is coming your way? Afterwards, we read Judas felt terrible about the whole matter and ran back to the chief priests and threw them with the money they paid him. Too little too late, you might say. He hung himself out of remorse. He didn’t know things were going to turn out so badly. Judas loved money and now he despised it. It changed him and made him into a true betrayer.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, humbly we pray that You will help us face each day. Forgive us if we have sinned against You knowingly or unknowingly. If we have betrayed You or any of our friends. Please, Lord, forgive us, help us to repent and make the right choices. We cannot face today without You Lord Jesus. 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...
