The danger of misunderstanding.


Daily Devotional Ebenezer


Psalm 37: 1 – 9 ESV
Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret – it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

So it's here we are all faced with the reality that the Coronavirus is a pandemic. It has reached everyone worldwide.  It has crossed my mind that it has become necessary to communicate with people. So there is no danger of misunderstanding, rules, and regulations. Then I am struck by some people who have no regard for the laws and regulations set for their protection. I cannot think people can act so carelessly.

Now I realize the Lord Jesus Christ has set up a "hotline" to God for us, and its not only for an emergency call but for all things that you may want to discuss with Him. How are my desires fulfilled?  In Psalm 37 verses, 4 King David says, "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." LORD how wonderful when You answer my prayers and give me the desires of my heart.

Right now, I realize people all over the world are panicking and feeling afraid. Lord reveal the word to people who do not understand You. Faith is trusting in You and Your Word.

Today we want to commit our ways to You, asking You Lord to guide each one of us. The pandemic is fast-growing, and people are dying because of this illness. Lord today we commit our ways into Your hands, I believe and trust You will guide us and protect us. We wait on You and see You working in our lives for our good.

Today we want to be still before You LORD, and we wait patiently for You, we are trusting in You as You are our "hotline."

Lord, we are asking You in prayer to help our loved ones and us in this time of isolation. We are waiting on You, and in prayer, we trust in you.

Prayer

Abba, Father, Lord, today I want to pray and ask You, please help me. I know You are in control of our lives and the world. As we face this pandemic, send Your Holy Spirit like a burning fire and heal our land and people, in the Holy 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...
