Yvette's Whispers of Faith

1 Samuel 2:1-10 New International Version (NIV) Hannah’s Prayer 2  Then Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord ;      in the Lord my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies,      for I delight in your deliverance. 2  “There is no one holy like the Lord ;      there is no one besides you;      there is no Rock like our God. 3  “Do not keep talking so proudly      or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows,      and by him deeds are weighed. 4  “The bows of the warriors are broken,      but those who stumbled are armed with strength. 5  Those who were full hire themselves out for food,      but those who were hungry are hungry no more. She who was barren has borne seven children,      but she who ...

Proverbs 16: 9 “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” My husband constantly reminds me that I run away with everything, I hear something and I am planning my next move. I don’t know if you are anything like me but that is what I do.   It makes me wonder if I am not selfish in many ways. Thinking that I need to take charge of every situation and not allow myself to trust people around me nor the LORD. Shamefully I confess that I am really selfish. I don’t share and I really must take a stand on sharing. I will help people and do things for other people but be sharing with other people grates my teeth. I get super angry when my things are taken and no one asks me. So this is my problem I need to learn to share and be kinder but I am struggling with this part. I need to realize it isn’t mine anyway so God will provide for me. I just need to trust in him.  I know that God will not reject my broken heart and when I...

Ek het besef dat daar nie veel is wat ek kan doen om die mense om my te verander nie. Veral die wat my werklik irriteer. My man herinner my voortdurend om te verander en dan sal dit die mense rondom my beïnvloed. "Wees die verandering wat jy wil sien." Aanvanklik het dit my so kwaad gemaak dat ek wou weghardloop. Eerlik gesproke is dit iets wat die Here Jesus Christus ons leer. Om die wêreld om ons te verander, moet ons meer en meer soos die Here Jesus word. Laat ons eerlik wees, dit is onmoontlik om iemand in bonatuurlike vriendelik en liefdevol te verander. Die enigste manier waarop ons 'n beduidende impak op die lewens van mense kan maak, is om die Here Jesus Christus in staat te stel om in ons lewens te bly. Ons het die Heilige Gees nodig om ons standpunt te verander, ons het Sy kreatiwiteit in ons lewens nodig. Ons moet ons harte en gedagtes verander deur die werking van die HEILIGE GEES. https://kellan-publishing.selz.com/item/daily-devotional-ebenezer ...

2 Thessalonians 1: 6 “God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you.” I am so sick and tired of fighting and have come to a place in my life that I just place my hand over my mouth to shut up. Then I saw this verse “God is just, He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you.” I must be honest I was happy about this but then I also felt terrible because I am also the person who causes trouble. I realize that God’s character is pure we see that in Proverbs Chapter 30 verse 5 “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.” Now dealing with difficult situations I revert back to God. “Please place a shield over my life, help me.”   I am not self-righteous but I need all the help I can get. Another characteristic of God is He is peace-loving and we see that in 1 Corinthians Chapter 14 verse 33 “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.” I enjoy order and peace in my ow...
