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

#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 ...
