Today Reminder - 05 June 2012 (Generous)

My prayer for you for today is that you will ask God when you need guidance and wisdom and that you will trust and believe Him for an answer with an expectant heart, in Jesus name.

James 1:5-8
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask Him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

Generous - If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. Today we are reminded that we can go to God with all our needs. James writes here that God is a generous God meaning that He will give what you need when you ask. But a very important note follows: “But when you ask Him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.” We cannot go to God for wisdom and guidance and then seek it in the world. How many times does this not happen? We ask God for help and then we try and do it ourselves. Why would we seek wisdom anywhere else when we can get it from the source of all wisdom, and God will give it with a generous heart – Why? Maybe we are impatient, or maybe we don’t have enough faith or maybe we let ourselves be influenced by people. 

My dear friend let us seek our wisdom today from the creator of wisdom and the source of all wisdom. Let us seek it from God, but when we ask Him for wisdom we must do it with complete obedience to His will and with undivided faith. 

For the LORD grants wisdom! From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6)

Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old. "But true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are His. (Job 12:12-13)

Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe. (Proverbs 28:26)

In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Colossians 2:3)

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, "He traps the wise
in the snare of their own cleverness." And again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise;
He knows they are worthless." (1 Corinthians 3:19-20)

No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the LORD. (Proverbs 21:30)

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...
