Rekindle your desire – seeking God!


Psalm 119: 2 ESV

“Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart.”

We are reminded to love the LORD our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our might [Deuteronomy 6: 5]. Sometimes we need to rekindle our desires for God, in seeking Him. I know I am facing a situation and I cannot trust people, they go out of their way to hurt me. I can only trust in the Lord “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” [Proverbs 3: 5].

Facing difficult situations and circumstance causes me to look for the LORD, I am constantly calling out to Him and I know that He is true to His word. “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” [Jeremiah 29: 13].

My question is do I truly love the LORD with all my heart? How will I gauge my love for the LORD? I think the LORD knows that I love Him with all my heart. I seek Him constantly, I fear that I am a disappointment to Him. I think there are times when I let Him down and He must feel sad to have me as His child. I believe that I need to constantly be reading my Bible and learning as much as I can about the person I truly love. The Lord is found in the pages of the Bible. I am lost without Him. I say goodnight and when I wake up I say good morning. During the day I seek God when I feel pressure and need help.

We all have pressure and pain sometimes and it can be stressful, I just believe those are the times I actually grow.
Prayer

Lord, humbly I come into Your presence. You are Holy and I want to praise Your Holy Name. Lord Let Your kingdom come and Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Lord I want to dedicate these naysayers into Your hands and I want to pray for their salvation. I pray Lord that they will birth what is on their minds and in their hearts. Lord, I pray that You will touch these peoples lives and they will rekindle their desire for You. Lord drawing near to You. I pray for their salvation and renewing of their minds as well as mine 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...
