My prayer for you for today is that the Lord will carry you in His hands through all the challenges that await you. That you will triumph above all expectations and that His glory will shine through your life.

Luke 6:20-22

"God blesses you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. God blesses you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. God blesses you who weep now, for in due time you will laugh.
What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man. When that happens, be happy! Yes, leap for joy! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, their ancestors treated the ancient prophets that same way.”

This day will be a beautiful day.

Do you feel that you are being challenged above your limits? Are you tired? Jesus was tempted for forty days in the desert and in that time He said that you must not test the Lord our God.
For forty days He was constantly challenged by the enemy and why did He succeed. Jesus placed His trust in our God almighty. He only did what God wanted and what God told Him to do. God wants you to make a difference today where you are. In your place of work place your trust in God and let Him guide you.

Luke 4:

THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS

 1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness,2 where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. Jesus ate nothing all that time and became very hungry.
  3 Then the devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread."
  4 But Jesus told him, "No! The Scriptures say, 'People do not live by bread alone.'"
  5 Then the devil took him up and revealed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.6 "I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them," the devil said, "because they are mine to give to anyone I please.7 I will give it all to you if you will worship me."
  8 Jesus replied, "The Scriptures say,

'You must worship the LORD your God
  and serve only him.'"

  9 Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, "If you are the Son of God, jump off!10 For the Scriptures say,

'He will order his angels to protect and guard you.
11 And they will hold you up with their hands
  so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.'"

  12 Jesus responded, "The Scriptures also say, 'You must not test the LORD your God.'"
  13 When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.
To God be all the glory

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...
