We become what we behold!


Psalm 121: 1 – 2 MSG I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from GOD, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.

I know it sounds so funny, we become what we behold. 
Thinking about this statement made me realize that when I look at something I like. After a while, it grows on me, and soon rather than later, I will go and buy that thing. Isn't it the same with serving the Lord our God. The more time we spend in the Word (Bible) of God, the closer we get to Him.

Psalm 24: 8 MSG Who is the King-Glory? GOD, armed and battled-ready.

Adjusting our sight and looking up is essential; I wonder why we stay focused on things all around us? Is it because it is tangible? Yes, and I think we lose sight of what is essential. Psalm 121 verses, one says, "I lift m eyes to the mountains where does my help come from?" 

I know Jesus is my King, and He is over all things in my life and beyond. He can do what no other man or being can even think of doing. He died and rose again to rescue me and bring my soul to life. I believe Jesus is a mighty King whose mission is to push back the darkness and breathe life into my own life.

I think we should fix our eyes on the Lord, Jesus. I am praying that the Holy Spirit will lift me to a sense of expectation because my God is King, and He knows my needs.

Prayer Abba Father, Lord my God, You are Holy, Holy, Holy. I will bring You all the glory and honor. I worship at Your feet, bring You praise, and I am here asking You to change my perspective on life. Lift me out of this whole and guide me, shape my thinking and my mind, cleanse my heart, and purify my soul. In the 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...
