A Heart Surrendered in Worship

Lord, prepare me to be a true worshiper Psalm 147:1 "Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful." Reflection For a long time, genuine worship has been a real struggle for me. I have grown so accustomed to simply listening to music rather than actively engaging in praise that breaking the habit has proven difficult. Unless a song truly resonates deep within me, I find my attention drifting away almost without realising it. So, when it comes to praise and worship, I have to deliberately lean in and press through. I am not entirely sure what caused me to withdraw in this area, but I know that I have. Even now, I am making a conscious effort to worship and praise the LORD wholeheartedly because I know that is exactly what God desires from me. God calls me to sing my praises to Him: "Serve the LORD with gladness; come before His presence with singing." Psalm 100:2 God calls me to lift my hands to Him: "Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the LORD." Psalm 134:2 God calls me to speak my praise to Him: "By Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." Hebrews 13:15 Apply Today Praise the LORD God with dancing and with instruments: "Let them praise His name with the dance; let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp." Psalm 149:3 Prayer Dear LORD, there is no greater joy for me than to worship You. I come into Your presence with a thankful heart and bow before You today. I exalt Your name, for You are great and worthy of all praise. Thank You that "You have put gladness in my heart" (Psalm 4:7). All honour and majesty, strength and glory, holiness and righteousness belong to You, O LORD. In the holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Today's Fragrance: Give your whole self to worshipping and praising the LORD God.

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...

#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...
