#decisive

#yvettevanniekerk

James 1: 8 “ A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

In my own life, I am very decisive. I don’t like to be uncertain, even if I am wrong so be it. I will go for it full force and worry about the consequences later. I don’t like it when people cannot decide on something. I will start pushing to a point that they don’t have a choice and make the decision.
It irritates me when someone cannot make a decision and then I start to move in and make the decision for them. I don’t appreciate indecisiveness. I know I make many mistakes but if I don’t risk it how else will I learn. 

It’s like the baking cake you follow the instructions of your recipe and then you cannot decide should you put the eggs in or should you leave them out? Most of the time it’s about general things in our lives, we need to make solid decisions and then we slip up because we cannot decide. 

Leaving out the eggs won't let the cake be totally lost but it won't rise to the desired height you would like it to be. I know I have done this too.

Prayer

Lord God, today I want to dedicate my life into Your hands, please help me to pray about things I feel uncertain of. Give me the necessary wisdom to take life one day at a time and show me the way forward. Lord thank You for today, its Friday and the weekend is at hand. Lord bless each and every one of us and keep us safe. I see Lord the weather has changed all over the world, please protect us when times are difficult and please send your angels to protect us. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over my life and the lives of family and friends. Amen
The Word for Today:
I Corinthians 13: 4 - 7, “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.”

#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 ...
