Am I walking in God's will?

November 6 Am I walking in God's will? Romans 8:6 (TLB) 6 "Following after the Holy Spirit leads to life and peace, but following after the old nature leads to death." As a Christian, the Holy Spirit lives inside of me and when I come to an awkward situation, I can call on God. The Holy Spirit will help me, and I will have peace in my life. So, I am still human, and my flesh wants to have its way all the time. How do I know which one is the best option to go with? Because in Christ, I will follow my spiritual prompts and look for guidance in the Bible. The Lord Jesus told His disciples how He would die. Peter couldn't come to terms with this and he refused to accept it. Matthew 16 : 22 "Heaven forbid sir, this will never happen to you." Peter didn't think what would Jesus do, and he was thinking about what can I do. That's when the Lord Jesus said: "Satan get behind me." Am I walking with God? We all try and it's only through reading Scripture and prayer that we draw near to the LORD. God expects us to use faith and wisdom. We need to share the Word of God with fellow man. Prayer In humble prayer, Lord Jesus, guide and teach each one of us to keep our minds focused on You Lord. Lord, I ask and keep on asking, and I receive. I seek and keep on exploring, and I find. Lord, I am knocking and keep on knocking, and the doors open unto me. We want to do God's will each day. Lord help us keep Your word. Amen.

#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...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
