Start You Monday and Week Right!

Matthew 7:7-8 (AMP)

Prayer and the Golden Rule

⁷“Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. ⁸For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.”

We serve an awesome God and today I want to start my day and week right. I heard that when a Camel goes into the desert this camel needs to bend the knee and receive his burned for the journey ahead of him. When we wake up in the morning and bend our knees before our Lord Jesus, He places the day’s burn upon our shoulders.

In Matthew 7 verse 7 we see “ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you;” we need to pray to ask God to help us carry our burns and face each day. When I opened my eyes this morning my first thought was “Jesus, help me.” I feel it is impossible to go through this day without the LORD’s hand in my own life.

I need all the help I can get and only the LORD is able to help me. I find my peace in Him, I believe His hand isn’t too short to help me.

God is our father and He knows what we need even before we actually ask Him. We can turn to God in our hour of need and He will hear us. We shouldn’t give up hope and keep on trusting Him. We are reminded in Matthew 7 verse 8 “For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.” It is a fact God is waiting for us and He wants us to call on Him. He loves you and me and we can rely on Him.

Prayer

Abba Father, we want to say thank You, for the knowledge that we can ask You for anything in Christ Jesus, we also have the assurance that we will receive what we ask according to Your Word. Lord, today bless each and every person who is reading my blog, give them the desires of their hearts, open the heavens and let it rain down blessings from You. Guide all of us and keep us safe in the name of the LORD Jesus Christ. 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...
