Out of my control!



Exodus 4: 2 NIV “Then the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied.”

Now Moses was speaking to the LORD and the LORD wanted Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses was a shepherded at the time and he had a staff in his hands. God used Moses’s staff.

Think about this, Moses’s staff represents his job, what he does and who he is at the moment. What is in your hand? I have been thinking about this. I am holding onto my job with all my might. Now I find that the harder I hold onto it the more difficult and stressful it is.

Its like putting sand in the palms of my hand, the minute I close my hand the sand runs out between my fingers. The minute I open my hand the sand stays in my palm. What am I trying to say?

I don’t have any control over what I will be doing in my life next year. I don’t want to let go, but in all reality, I have no chose in the matter. I must let go and trust in the LORD. I am going to surrender my difficult situation into the LORDS hand.

Today I am taking the courage to surrender this thing I am holding on into God’s hands. I am going to trust God with this matter and next year I will bring God glory.

Prayer

LORD, I know You are in control over my life. I realise that I am struggling with this matter and You know my heart. Today I want to humbly come and surrender my situation into Your hands. I am holding on to it with all my might and it's very hard to surrender it into Your hands. Please Lord, this is my situation and I want to ask You to help me going forward. It pains me but I believe You are in control over my life.  In the name of 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...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
