“The LORD is my light …”





I am learning to draw my strenght from the LORD each and every day, sometimes I feel like it’s too much and I don’t have the strenght to face the day. I remember this morning the first thing I did was pray asking God, please LORD strenghten me, protect me I cannot do this on my own.

Psalm 27 : 1 NIV

“The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?”

I believe King David went throug a lot, when I read the Psalms I realise there were times when he just felt he couldn’t make it. I sense that he was depressed and perhaps he felt he needed protection. The one theing that stands out for me about King David is that never mind the circumstances he would constantly draw near to the LORD.

I believe he had a living relationship with the LORD. Even when King David sinned he looked for the LORD and he repented, asking God to forgive him. He pursuide God constantly in good times and bad times. I believe King David had a personal relationship with the LORD nothing was too grate for God according to King David. He knew God would help him.

Prayer

Abba Father we cry out to YOU ABBA Father, You are our strenght and our protector, Lord we cannot make it without Your help today. I dedicate my life into Your hands, please protect me and help me. I need all the help I can get going into the next week. Lord protect me from harm as well as my friends and family. In the name of 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...
