Today Reminder – 22 May 2014 (Day 16 – Everywhere)



A reminder for today
My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart! (Psalm 108:1)

Confidence is easy to muster when we are faced with easy challenges, but the minute things become a little more challenging our confidence seems to suffer. In most cases we measure our own confidence in our own abilities. Why do we do that? Why do we even try to battle on our own? Yesterday the storms raged on and my world was in turmoil and today… today my worlds is in Jesus’s hands and guess what – all is well and there are no storms.

When I was a student I loved to take part in speech competitions and I guess it is something I got from my father, because he was quite the speaker. I remember how I used to get so nervous before hand until I got up on that stage and opened my mouth, and then I always seemed so calm. My confidence was based on my ability to start my speech and once I started I was fine. Then I could carry on as if I was standing alone in my room. 

Today our confidence is challenged a lot and it is when we feel alone in the midst of a challenge that we lose confidence and we start to sink. Confidence is sureness and coolness and when we are not sure we lose that cool and collected self-assurance. Today Jesus is my confidence. He is how I look at myself and how I see myself. When he becomes my confidence I become am a self-assured and balanced person, focused and poised. Therefore I can jump and dance and sing out load for I have none to fear as I sing praises to Him. 

My heart is confident in the Lord and in that He is my confidence no matter how tough or difficult my challenges are today I will be confident in knowing that none of them are greater than my God. No wonder I can sing His praises with all my heart.

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...
