Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Psalm 32: 5 KJV “I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.” I really get angry with people and they frustrate me and before I know it I have sinned by saying really ugly things about them. The truth of the matter is my conscience bothers me to such an extent that I confess my mouth to the LORD my God asking for forgiveness.   They don’t even know I said whatever but I realize God heard me and I feel truly bad about it. In confessing my sin I feel better and I can carry on. I need to get whatever off my chest and move forward. Then I get these little reminders that plague my mind and I realize that the Devil is reminding me of past sins that have been forgiven. I bind him and send him back to where he came from. Not accepting the thoughts he tried to plant in my mind. The Greek Word translated as confession means “to agree with God.” I ...

Judges 3: 31 ESV “ After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed 600 of the Philistines with an oxgoad, and he also saved Isreal. ” Looking at this passage made me think of a number of reasons this guy “Shamgar” killed 600 Philistines. He must have been living in Israel and had more than enough of the Philistines raids on the town. I looked his name up and it seems he sit a Hebrew person. Now thinking about this ox goad, I see it is a formidable sharpened instrument, sometimes ten feet long. Shamgar must have been very good with using this object. It is clear that he didn’t worry about what would the people say, or how could he get involved. He saw a problem and took action. How are doing when it comes to facing your problems?   Do you think you will do something about it or will you leave it and not get involved? Prayer Lord God please help us to stand up for what we believe in and guide us. Lord You knows our thoughts and heart, forgive us...

Psalm 119: 165 “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Keep calm, chill and relax! These words create a storm within me. I cannot relax when I have asked you or instructed you to do something specifically for me. The calm sea my being becomes dark and stormy the minute these simple words are spoken “keep calm, take a chill pill.”   Seriously! Now you see I have a bit of a temper and I struggle to take the high road on small issues.   The problem I believe is that I feel disrespected when I pick up you have laid to me in my face. Oh my goodness my face turns red and if possible smoke will come out of my ears that very minute. Words pour out before I can even think or comprehend what I am saying.  I am struggling with these emotions and I am told the I am emotional immature and that I should learn to take control. I am learning, I go to God’s word on more than one occasion and lately when someone makes me mad, I excuse m...

Jeremiah 38: 22 NIV “All the women left in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon.   Those women will say to you: “They misled you and overcame you – those trusted friends of yours. Your feet are sunk in the mud; your friends have deserted you.”  My dad always reminded me that “birds of a feather flock together.” You are known by your friends.   The question I want to pose is “do you have good friends?” To climb the corporate ladder it is import to rub shoulders with the right people. You need people who have influence and so you want to be in their company.    The skills managers actually lack and need are to my thinking, understanding people, being kind and friendly.   The problem with having too many friends is that it takes time and effort from both sides to keep the relationship going. I know you are known by the company you keep as well as the company you shun. That is according t...
