I will trust and not be afraid.


Daily Devotional Ebenezer



Isaiah 12: 2 Amplified Bible
“Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, For the LORD GOD is my strength and song; Yes, He has become my salvation.”

With the threat of the Conoravirus, I think people feel stable for one minute, and the very next minute, they feel swept up in a wave of debilitating emotional chaos. I think we try not to focus on this virus, but with the media and everybody continually talking about it, it is starting to impact us.

What to do? Let us focus our thoughts on spiritual truths and shift our thought life to God. Once we read our Bibles and let the Word recalibrate and calm us spiritually. Something that can help, memorize scriptures, and we can use these passages as our armor to protect us. Now we are taking the focus of the virus and focusing on God's Word.

Looking at Isaiah 12, verses 2 in the Amplified Bible, I read, "Behold, God, my Salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, and For the Lord, God is my strength and song; Yes, He has become my Salvation." Now I am sure the Lord is already speaking into my life, I have come to a place realizing that God is my Salvation. I do not have to be afraid. By meditating on the Word of God, we permit God to take away the worry we are currently facing. We become empowered and can win the battles we are fighting.

Romans 8: 6 Amplified Bible “Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever – because it pursues sin], but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God – both now and forever];”

I want to encourage you today, let’s not only focus all our time and energy on the virus. Take time and read the Bible today, meditate on God's Word, in Romans 8 verses 6 in the Amplified, we see that the mind of the flesh is death and the mind of Spirit is life and peace.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, people all over the world, is focused on the illness of the Coronavirus. Lord, today I want to pray that You will send Your Holy Spirit to help us and the blood of Jesus Christ to protect us. 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...

#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...
