#Are_you_able_to_listen?

Ezekiel 40: 4 “The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought her.   Tell the people of Israel everything you see.”  Do you sometimes dream of hearing God speak to you in an audible word? As you sit somewhere praying and hear God say “My Son, Daughter I am here.   Speak to me.” I do and I have heard God speak to me in a still voice. The problem is we don’t always listen carefully and we don’t always pay attention to that still voice we hear. Yes I have heard the still voice speak to me on a number of occasions and regretfully the last time I heard God speak to me I didn’t listen carefully nor did I pay close attention to what God was saying. In the mean time I am learning to listen more carefully and pay attention to everything I notice. I have decided that I don’t want to miss out on what God has in store for me this time.  I didn’t ...

“You” are always on “His” mind!

Psalm 139: 17-18 NLT “How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!” “You” and “I” are always on GOD’s mind. He is looking out for each one of us each and every day. I am so taken with the thought that GOD has me on “HIS” mind. Thinking about this scripture I can see God has precious thoughts about me. I cannot even number these thoughts. There is no way I can place a number to the thoughts God has over me. I am reminded that God thoughts outnumber the grains of sand! When I think about it even when I am a sleep God is there with me and when I wake up God is there with me. Awesome and Wonderful is our God. If you are feeling a little blue or under the weather, stop and take a deep breath.   Look around you, see how beautiful our world is and remember God made everything we have through people and nature. Prayer Thank You Lord...

On Judgment day

1 Samuel 15: 24 KJV “And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.” A people pleaser, Saul admitted to Samuel he actually listened to the people. I also do that sometimes. I think it is because I want their approval or I want to please them, I may even be afraid of them and will obey just to keep the peace. Picture this, I work in an office and we are audited every year. The Auditors will come to the office and ask to see a number of files.   The will go through the files and make copies of all the documents and then they will leave.   They do not say a word.   We wait to hear the outcome of the findings.   A meeting is called and we are asked to attend the meeting. The Auditors will bring their findings and tell us about the mistakes they have found. They will highlight problems they have identified and then they will give their thoug...

“I love it when a plan comes together.” (A Team)

Hebrews 10: 36 ESV “for you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.” When I was a young girl I used to love watching the A-Team on television, they were the best to my mind.   Hannibal was awesome and he always had a plan. Reflecting on my past, I have come to realize that it was under those challenging and difficult times that my fortitude became a part of the fiber in my own being. Every ounce of energy I invested in pursuing my goals helped me grow closer to God. I never counted on ending up in "Witbank" - South Africa but here I am today.   I am writing my blog and daily devotional each and every day something I wished I could do when I was younger but never tried. I have failed so many times and the difference in my life is that whenever I fell; I picked myself up and tried again.   I still am working hard and I promised myself that I would never quit.   Scripture reminds me that in Hebrews ...

Keep growing!

Hebrews 6: 1-2 “Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.” Pressing on to maturity is something I believe each and every Christian is working at. I believe we are all striving to become more and more like Christ Jesus. Each morning I clothe myself with the Lord Jesus and it is my prayer that I will grow spiritually.  I am in the process of learning new and wonderful truths each and every day. I know that I am becoming aware of the goodness of my God and that He is a Good, good Father. I have come to a place in my spiritual life where I feel that I am growing each and every day.  I do also suffer with attacks from the devil on a regular basis. These attacks are through people, through circumstances and finances. When these...
