Today Reminder - 20 June 2013 (Choices Part 1)



A reminder for today
Later on, in the third year of the drought, the LORD said to Elijah, "Go and present yourself to King Ahab. Tell him that I will soon send rain!" (1 Kings 18:1)

Choices part 1. I want to chat to you about choices today. You might think: “Ah seriously! I know I have made good or bad choices, but I am past that and looking forward.” I know, and yes I like to remind you that you have to listen to God, so why are we looking at choices?

We both know that every choice has an impact and every decision we make either puts us on the right path or takes us on a detour, but ultimately every choice we have puts us in a place where we must choose.

I think every choice in life has three stages. Part 1: Getting the choice, Part 2: making the Choice and Part 3 living the choice. Today I want to focus your attention on getting a choice. I think or rather I believe that all things happen with a purpose. It either shapes or moulds us for bigger ones or it places us in a position where God can use us or were God will let us grow in our relationship with Him.

Now, every day you stand before many choices. Some you say are daily choices and part of life, but in the free world that is true. You have a choice to wake up, a choice to have breakfast and when to have it and a choice to work. In a jail cell you do not have those choices, and yes I know choices took those guys to jail and choices kept you from it. But still it is a choice. So here is my point for today. Take a moment before you make your choices today and see God in them. Take a moment and think for a second if you can see God’s hand and God’s direction and finally hear God’s voice in each choice. Some choices will purely be out of grace, but other could be part of your work or because of the position you have or even the road you took. But in each case take a moment and look for God, because He is in each choice whether it is by grace or by reason and purpose.

So I will meet you out there today as we evaluate our choices.

Have and 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...
