The Miracle of Staying Positive


Zephaniah 3: 17 (NIV)
“The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.  He will take great delight in you; in his love, he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

My blogs for the past couple of months are based around "staying positive."

The miracle of staying positive amidst a trying time.

I know that I do not have control over what is happening in my life right now. What must I do? I pray for my circumstances and believe in God.

I believe God resides in me and He gives me the ability to overcome whatever comes my way. His Spirit is living within me and will show me the way forward.

I confess that the LORD my God is with me, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in me, in His love He will no longer rebuke me, but will rejoice over me with singing.

Prayer

 El Sali - LORD You are my rock. I want to bring You all the glory and honour, You deserve my gratitude. LORD, You stay steady when I feel like everything around me is crumbling. Thank YOU, LORD, for Your power and strength in my life. Thank You, LORD that I can call on You in my hour of need, I am asking that YOU will stand in the gap for me, I need Your help today.  My colleague is facing a difficult time, help us in Jesus Christ of Nazareth'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...

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 ...
