There are so many references in the bible talking about your tongue. How your tongue can cause a fire. Destroy your future. But do we really take note of every word that comes out of our mouth? Because every word has the power to either create or destroy your life or somebody else’s.

There is a verse in the old and new testament that specifically states that we will have to give testament to every word that was said by us. How many of your words will you have to explain and justify?

May every word be a blessing to others and yourself. May every word build and not break down the life around you. May every word be God inspired. May God guide and help you to grow in speaking power words that will be a blessing for everyone around us.

Are you in the place God chose for you or did you make the decision from your flesh? I’ve been reading through Deuteronomy again and one thing that stood out for me this time is the reference: ….. ‘to the place that the Lord will choose’.

From the beginning of Deuteronomy the Israelite’s went to the promise land the Lord has chosen. It also speaks about the place the Lord has chosen to put His name there for His dwelling. The place where you need to bring your offering and tithe’s.

Have you consulted God with regards to where He wants you to ‘put His name there for His dwelling’, or where you give your tithe’s? How much of your everyday decision making do you discuss with God first and wait for Him to show you the place or do you make the decision and ask God to bless you at your new place, new church, new position.

If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me.

There is so much I can learn from His life. He went to John the Baptist to get baptised. As a grown man of 30 years. In the river. Do I need to say more.

When He felt overwhelmed by emotions, He went to the hill and pray. When He had a hard day at ‘work’, He went to the hill and pray.

He picked His disciples – you need to pick your friends – just saying. He supported and taught them everything He knew. He led by example. He reprimanded them with love. He humbled Himself and washed their feet.

There is so much we can learn from Him about every day life. Take time to find out what was good enough for Jesus. You will be supprised how many of your day to day questions will be answered.

 

My life: I knew that my thoughts and ideas were not always the best. I realised that the reality, the life I have created for myself was not the best there is. I wanted more out of life. I didn’t want to try so hard to be somebody. I wanted to know that I’m somebody over and above of what I’ve accomplished. Because if you take everything you’ve done and accomplishes away, what is left of you? I wanted to be so much more than what I’ve done and accomplished and I didn’t have an idea how to get there. Something had to change.

I remembered all the promises of the bible and wanted that. And I wanted the security of having somebody on my side who is more knowledgeable and stronger than me. Somebody I can rely on.

I made a choices. The same way you make a choice to stay faithful to your husband, to love and to honour him.

My relationship with God was a choice. It was a choice I made to trust God. To believe God and His word. It was the best choice I’ve ever made!
