A reminder for
today
Don't worry about
anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him
for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds
anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you
live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
How was your weekend, my friend? I took the boys to visit my
parents on the their farm and we had a great weekend. As we took the highway
down to Mpumalanga the boys were very excited to see their grand parents again.
We turned down and went through Middelburg onto a road that I know so well from
all the years I have driven it. Memories came rushing back as we stared up
Botha’s Mountain and down into the valley were I grew up. It is a beautiful
drive as we drove from one bend to the next as the road turned and descended
down. My Ford Ranger held nicely into the bends as we drove into Stoffberg. He must’ve
been just as excited to take the road down here as we were. For a moment the worries
and stress of our lives seemed to disappear when we tuned into my parent’s
driveway.
I love these verses and I believe that we should make them
part of us as we journey into the last few days of this year. Paul writes that
we should not worry about anything, instead we should pray about everything. We
must tell God what we need and thank Him. My friend, you and I have already
witnessed the power of prayer as we prayed for rain and the Lord is blessing
our land with it. I also told you that I believe that the Lord is going to
bless us in the same way. So let us be focused and diligent in our prayers. So
that we will experience His peace and His peace will guard our minds as we live
for Him.
My dear friend, this is going to be a Christmas like none
before. I believe that we will see His miracles and we will show Him to a world
that is lost and many will turn back. This Christmas we will celebrate His
birth, but we will also celebrate the birth of a new you and new me and
hundreds of new hearts in the kingdom of God.
So today, stop worrying and start praying.
Lord, as we fall to our knees and as we call on your name. I
pray that you will hear our prayers and reign over us. Bless us in this season
so that our joy will be contagious and let all who seek you in us see you with
open hearts. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
