Today Reminder (Water) – 29 November 2018

A reminder for today
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. (Psalm 42:1)

Every day I battle with the voices in my mind telling me how bad I am and reminding me of the things I have done. I am confronted with guilt and accusations as the enemy keep fighting to break me. I am reminded that my finances are on thin ice and I am merely balancing everything at the moment. He keeps pushing and he keeps throwing these words in my direction. I stare at the mirror and for brief moments the person looking back is unfamiliar to me. 

I am fighting spiritual battles now more than ever before. The enemy is trying everything and throwing more and more accusations in my direction. The problem is that at this moment my soul seeks God and God alone. I am on a one way focused only on Jesus and the past and the accusations and the guilt has no effect on me anymore. 

As my body needs water, I need God and I am very aware of that. I wake up and the need of more of my God is there. In everything I do I am more and more aware of my need and my dependence on Him. I know my finances are in shambles, but I know He will not let me fall and He will show me a way to survive despite what the budget says.

I know my world collapsed and I am holding on every day as much as I can, but the thing is that I am holding on to God and He is holding me. I do not have to worry, because I am in His hands and I am a child of God.

He is my all and He is everywhere. I will face more challenges and the storms may increase, but my faith is also increasing, and this means that my battles are getting easier. 

So, today I remind you that we must seek God and desire more of Him. We must spend more time with Him and live every moment for Him. It is all about Him and all for Him. When I wake, and I go for my run I look up at the skies and I see His majesty. I see the works of His hands and I know that this God is the one who gave His life for me. Then I am renewed and filled with His Spirit and glory and I walk in His light. Nobody loves me like He does. He is my God, my king and my saviour. 

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...
