“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help with man with the wrong mental attitude.” W.W. Ziege
 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 Bible
"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.” Mahatma Gandhi  I have obeyed my Father's commands, and I remain in his love. In the same way, if you obey my commands, you will remain in my love. Joh 15:10 God rewards those who seek him. Not those who seek doctrine or religion or systems or creeds. Many settle for these lesser passions, but the reward goes to those who settle for nothing less than Jesus himself. And what is the reward? What awaits those who seek Jesus? Nothing short of the heart of Jesus. "And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him" (2Co 3:18 TLB). Can you think of a greater gift than to be like Jesus? Christ felt no guilt; God wants to banish yours. Jesus had no bad habits; God wants to remove yours. Jesus had no fear of death; God wants you to be fearless. Jesus had kindness for the diseased and mercy for the rebellious and courage for the challenges. God wants you to have the same… He wants you to be just like Jesus. Just Like Jesus (by: Max Lucado)  Proverbs 14:11
'The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.' - It pays to always do what honors God. - Then we can know what it means to flourish. - Then our hope is founded on something more lasting than houses. - As you endeavor to please God, He will come and cause you to flourish. PRAYER: Lord, in everything that I do, I choose to do what pleases and honors You. Amen  Die Bybel sê: "... as die versoeking kom, sal Hy ook die uitkoms gee, sodat julle dit kan weerstaan." (1 Kor 10:13 NV). Dalk is jy in 'n situasie waarvoor jy nie kans sien nie - 'n slegte verhouding of finansiële moeilikheid. Jy kan opgee, maar as jy opstaan en die beste doen wat jy kan, gebeur daar iets goeds in jou hart wat al die slegte dinge om jou oortref. Jesus het geweet daar lê swaarkry vir Hom voor toe Hy vir Sy dissipels gesê het hulle kan berge beveel om hulself in die see te werp as hulle net glo. Wanneer jy fokus op die berg, oorweldig vrees jou, maar as jy fokus op God, maak geloof jou lewend. As jy nooit 'n berg gehad het nie, sou jy nooit geweet het hoe sterk jou geloof is nie. Teëspoed het die manier om jou waardes en prioriteite op 'n positiewe manier te verander. Wanneer jy deel van die dolle gejaag na geld, sekuriteit en sukses is, en teëspoed breek jou spoed, begin jy sien hoe dwaas dit is om hierdie goed na te jaag. As jy slim is, sal jy nie terugkeer na jou ou lewe as dit beter begin gaan nie. Die geheim om dit reg te kry, is om veranderings te begin maak voor jou lewe weer na normaal terugkeer. Jy het 'n beperkte geleentheid om 'n verandering in jou lewe te maak; anders gaan jy terugkeer na jou normale patrone toe. Bid en vra God watter veranderinge jy moet maak ten opsigte van jou houding, verhoudings, gewoontes en lewenstyl. Hy sal vir jou die uitkoms gee.
Sielekos: 1 Kor 4-6; Luk 23:44-56; Ps 13; Spr 25:4-8  Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-ager. What can we do?...Were can we go? The answer is GO HOME! Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves, mow the lawn, shovel the walk. Wash the car, learn to cook, scrub some floors. Repair the sink, build a boat, get a job. Help the minister, priest, or rabbi, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. Visit the sick, assist the poor, study your lessons. And then when you are through - and not too tired - read a book. Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your city or village does not owe you recreational facilities. The world does not owe you a living...You owe the world something. You owe it your time and your energy and your talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty or sick or lonely again. Grow up; quit being a crybaby. Get out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or a lady. You're supposed to be mature enough to accept some of the responsibility your parents have carried for years. They have nursed, protected, helped, appealed, begged, excused, tolerated and denied themselves needed comforts so that you could have every benefit. This they have done gladly, for you are their dearest treasure. But now, you have no right to expect them to bow to every whim and fancy just because selfish ego instead of common sense dominates your personality, thinking and request. In Heaven's name, grow up and go home! - South Bend Tribune, Sunday, Dec. 6, 1959.  Here, gee my asseblief geloof soos Sara sodat ek seker kan wees van die dinge waarop ek hoop.
Gee my trane van hoop soos Hanna. Ek vra ook vir Ragab se waagmoed, sodat reg sal geskied. Mag Debora se leierskap my help om die regte keuses te maak. ... Ek vra ook klein bietjie van Delila se hart, sodat ek die duiwel sal kan uitvang. Here, help dat ek soos Naomi, nooit sal opgee nie. Mag ek soos Orpa en Rut, die mense wat ek liefhet, nooit in die steek laat nie. Help asseblief dat ek soos Esra sal sorg dat “menslike tempels” herbou sal word. Jesus, ek vra vir Koningin Ester se skoonheid – maar laat dit asseblief van binne-in my uitstraal. Laat die “Vrou van Spreuke 30” my naambordjie dra, en gee my asseblief krag om soos die meisie van Hooglied my man te bemin en eer. Help dat ek sal klou aan die ewige lewe soos Jaïrus se dogter. Gee my ook asseblief die vyf verstandige meisies se wysheid om ekstra olie vir my lampie te vat, sodat ek altyd vir U skyn. En die selfde wysheid om soos die arm vrou, alles wat ek besit, vir U te gee. Laat my leer uit Eva se foute asseblief Liewe Heer, sodat ek die regte lewensbesluite sal maak. Spreek deur my die goeie nuus van U wat lewe, soos deur Maria Magdalena en ander Maria. Here, en dan die vrou van alle vroue… U mamma… Maria… Maak my asseblief bereid, net soos sy, om my hele lewe en alles wat ek oneindig lief het, vir U op te offer, want U is my gunsteling en ek wil ‘n vrou so na U hart wees! Ek bid en vra dit in Jesus naam Amen en AMEN!!!!  Although things are not perfect Because of trial or pain Continue in thanksgiving Do not begin to blame Even when the times are hard Fierce winds are bound to blow God is forever able Hold on to what you know Imagine life without His love J oy would cease to be Keep thanking Him for all the things Love imparts to thee Move out of "Camp Complaining" No weapon that is known On earth can yield the power Praise can do alone Quit looking at the future Redeem the time at hand Start every day with worship To "thank" is a command Until we see Him coming Victorious in the sky We'll run the race with gratitude X alting God most high Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but... Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad! |
