Today Reminder – 29 May 2014 (Day 21 – Everywhere)



A reminder for today
The LORD is God, shining upon us. Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar. You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you! (Psalm 118:27-28)

The LORD is God, shining upon us.  Yesterday morning when I got up we had no power and suddenly everything seemed so quiet. I got up and went out for my morning run. It wasn’t as chilly as the previous days but the darkness made it a bit weird to run and I must admit I thought it over for moment before I started. As I got on the road and I saw the dark shapes of the other houses hidden in a light darkness I looked up and was amazed at how clear the sky was. All the other mornings the stars seemed to far, but this morning they were clear and spectacular.

For a moment I was caught in the wonder of our God and I remembered Louis Giglio comparing our little planet to the amazing stars in the universe and the word indescribable just popped up in my head again. I wondered if our lives shine as much as the stars reflecting the glory of God.

Today the Lord is in the stars, His wonder exalted by the beauty of the heavens and His presence redefined by the majority of the stars. When people look around them I want to be like the stars shinning His glory and reflecting His love. I want to stand out by the way I live my life and by the way I shine out His presence in my life.

Let the stars remind you today that as much as we need there light in the darkness, people around us needs our light in their dark times. 

Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus

Cheers

Just to remind you

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'  When I say 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.   When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than you. I’m just a simple sinner who received God...

Today Reminder – 7 August 2014 (Day 5 – Return to Proverbs)

A reminder for today Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) When we realise that all we are and all that we are good at is a blessing from the Lord we soon see how we can honour Him with these wonderful talents. I give all the credit to the Lord for all that I accomplish and all that I do and I am humbled by the way He continues to give me wisdom in my work. The promise here is much greater than we realise. When we honour Him with all that we produce, He will fill our barns and let our vats overflow. This to me means that the more we honour Him in what we produce (do) the more He will bless what we do up to the extend where we will see His blessings and they will leave us completely overwhelmed. In the end all that we have comes from God and He will increase what we have when we seek Him above all and live to bring glory to Him. ...

Today Reminder (Boxes) – 9 November 2017

A reminder for today   I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One]. (Revelation 22:13 ) When you are reading this, I will be well on my way to my parents. Today is their moving day and we are off to help. Now, when it comes to moving I am almost an expert. We moved a few times and I can tell you it was never fun. Even still today our furniture starts to shake when a truck drives by. Now moving is all about boxes. Your stuff goes into the box and then onto the truck and finally at the new destination the stuff comes out of the box. One thing I can tell you is that with every move our stuff got lesser and lesser, because I gave some away that I thought we do not need anymore. Some would think I just made it less and easier to move. I would argue the opposite, but surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When we look at life it is a bit like moving. You see we experience things in life and we box it. This c...
