Empowered by Faith: Overcoming Challenges with Luke 10: 19

"Luke 10:19 (RSV) reassures us: 'Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you.' This profound scripture not only instills faith but also encourages us to recognize the abundant opportunities that often go unnoticed amidst life's challenges. As a devoted Christian, I may not have physically encountered serpents or scorpions, but in the spiritual realm, I have triumphed over numerous challenges. This scripture is a beacon of hope, reminding me that God has bestowed upon me the authority to overcome all obstacles. The knowledge that I possess the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, coupled with the assurance that I am shielded from harm, emboldens my spirit. The concept of 'nothing shall hurt me' resonates deeply within me, serving as a constant reminder of God's unwavering protection. This assurance empowers me to face each day with courage, embracing new projects and experiences with a heart full of faith. I find solace in the incredible truth that I am not alone in my endeavors; the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, strengthens me. All glory and honor belong to God, for I am merely an instrument of His divine will. Through Christ Jesus, I draw strength, recognizing that my abilities are magnified through His grace. With this understanding, I approach life's challenges with confidence, trusting in God's promise that nothing shall hurt me." Heavenly Father, I come before you in gratitude, centering my thoughts on Your Word. I am thankful, Lord, for the assurance that "nothing shall hurt me." Your protective hand is stretched out over my life, guiding my path and shielding me from harm. I humbly seek your divine guidance, trusting that you will illuminate the right doors of opportunity for me and my family in the days to come. May your wisdom direct our steps and may we walk in the light of your blessings. In the holy and powerful name of Jesus Christ, I pray. 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...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
