"May the best day of your past Be the worst day of your future." My Dad always wished me this Irish Blessing and I want it to matter today and every other day in my life.

Granddaughters prayers - Courage
by Yvette van Niekerk
December 15, 2022
Good morning, today I want to pray for Gizel, Anabelle and Briana my beautiful granddaughters. Lord may each granddaughter of mine stand firm for what is right, give them the courage they need to face today. Help them guard the truth and see justice in every aspect of life. Lord please gives them the ability to stand in grace. Let them revere Your name and be proud to proclaim You are Lord of lords and King of kings. In Jesus's name, we pray, Amen

Joseph
Lessons
we can take away from Joseph's life experience. Headlines, Joseph landed up in
a pit, then he went to prison. And then straight to the palace.
When
life knocks you down, make sure it knocks you to your knees. Stop complaining
and murmuring about your difficult situation. Ask yourself, what can I learn
from this? This is the time when we build character and draw near to God.
Joseph
asked the cupbearer to remember him so he might be released from prison. The
cupbearer completely forgot about Joseph, and self-promotion didn't pay off for
Joseph. What did pay off, in the end, was divine intervention? Don't take
credit and think you will be promoted; no wait for the Lord to promote you at
the right time.
Joseph
dreamed of power, and that's what he wanted, but then God stepped in and
changed everything. God had a better dream for Joseph.
Genesis 50: 20, "You intended to harm me,
but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving
of many lives."
Prayer
O
Lord, please help me understand and see these tests as stepping stones and
building my character. I need the patience to get to the next level, and please
help me wait for the right moment. I believe true promotion only comes from
You. I believe that You made me a blessing for others help me hold onto that.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
