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...

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...
