Today Reminder (Never) – 20 September 2018


A reminder for today
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Hebrews 13:5-6)

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Consistency is something I always find lacking and I myself are guilty of inconsistency at times. But our Lord is always the same. The Jesus we know in the Bible is the Jesus we see in our lives and is the Jesus we will meet in the end. This remarkable consistency is a huge reason why our religion is so great, but it is also a massive reminder to those who oppose our Lord that the final judgement is inevitable and very real. 

You have got to love these verses. Paul says that we should be without covetousness and be content with what we have. I see it daily how people are always talking about money and how they can make more money. It has taken me a long time to reach this point where I am content and all I need is Jesus, because Paul goes further and reminds us that Jesus said He will never leave us, nor will He ever forsake us. Now, knowing the consistency of our Lord we have a strong promise in these words that we should not just know but also remember each day. He is with is, always. 

What is the result of this? So, that we can boldly, and I might add, courageously, say that the Lord our God is our helper and we will not (never) fear what any man can or will do to us. These are big words and I often think about the Christians that are murdered or tortured and I think that in these moments we get really close to God. It is in these moments that we see how real the enemy is and how his hatred devours and destroys.  

These words are the drive force that pulls us trough these moments and through the hardships we encounter on our journey towards the end. It encourages us it aligns us with His will and His protection, because our mortal bodies can die but our souls are saved by His grace and mercy. The final judgement is way more harsher than anything we will encounter on earth. 

So, today I am reminded that my God is consistent, and I remain content with what I have and I will not fear what any man can do to me. My God is greater than the enemy and all his so-called power. He is the King of glory and the King above all kings. He is my God and He is my creator. To Him all the glory, now and forever. 

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...
