"We may come to God the Father."

November 16
"We may come to God the Father." Ephesians 2:18 (TLB) 18 "Now all of us, whether Jews or Gentiles, may come to God the Father with the Holy Spirit's help because of what Christ has done for us." In the days of Moses,and Abraham, and even the Lord Jesus. There was a High Priest who went into the Holy of Holy on behalf of the people. This Priest needed to pray to God and bring the sin offerings of the people. It is possible to actually talk to God, the Holy Spirit, dwells insideoue hearts. As we pray, we are able to draw near to God. The Holy Spirit in us brings our thoughts into alignment with that of God's. When we study God's Word we learn to embrace God. God's heart is for his children to know him, understand him, and seek him. A balanced discipline of reading God's Word heps us recognize God's heart. The result of seeking God is finding God! In coming to the Lord and praying to the Lord we find the heart of God. When Jesus gave His life on the cross, He was thinking of you and me, opening this door for us to speak to our God. I am not a Jew, and but I am in Jesus, I have the right to come to God with my prayers and petitions. So do you. What is hindering you from spending time with God? In fostering this habit of spending time with God in His Word we are able to see more of God's heart. What changes do you need to make in your daily quiet time? Prayer Heavenly Fater, Your instructions are pleasant because they draw me closer to You. Your commands are good because You want what's best for my life. Please help me not to fall back and away from You. LORD, please remind me of this and show me the joy that I find in Your presence. Fill me Holy Spirit with a deep desire to seek You. Help us with our needs and guide us with our plans. In Jesus Name, 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...
