“David had no armor, no experience, no equipment, he was not battle tested, nor was he trained… But one thing he had that Goliath also had was confidence but the huge difference was his confidence was in his God and not in his own strength…” ~ Unknown

Ephesians 3:17-21

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen…”

Deuteronomy 31:6

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you…"

“If you truly love life, don’t waste time; because time is what life is made of….” ~ Bruce Lee

“If you are moved to such a degree that you feel the pain, and that you can feel the tears running down your face, then you’re looking at an opportunity to make a change to make a difference in the world…” ~ John Francis

Waarin is jou vertroue wanneer jy jou dagtaak aanpak?  Val jy terug op jou ondervinding?  Jou historiese kennis?  Die hulp van ander?  Of gaan jy sommer net deur die motions, om deur die dag te kom, deur die werk te kom, ten einde weer vinnig by die naweek uit te kom?  Hoe ons ookal mag stry daarteen, baie van ons leef so…  Werk is net iets waardeur ons moet kom ten einde by twee dae se rus, of lekkertyd met familie of lekker dinge doen, uit te kom…  Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters…”  Dis ‘n vers waarvan ons baie keer vergeet…  Ons is nie veronderstel om ons werk (skoolwerk, kantoorwerk, huiswerk, swottings) te doen om ons baas te “please” nie…  Dit is deel van die hele pakket, maar wanneer ons eerste uitkykpunt is om ons werk te doen, asof ons dit vir God doen – deur eerbaar te werk, ons beste te gee, nie tyd te steel van ons companies deur goed te doen wat nie in lyn is met ons integriteit  nie – is wanneer ons, ons baas ook sal “please”…  Wanneer ons, ons werk vir God doen, deur op Sy krag staat te maak – deur Hom te vertrou vir die regte oordeelsvermoë en besluite, is waneer die res van die goed in plek val…

Ons worry baie keer so oor die “ander” mense, wat die verkeerde ding doen, wat op ander mense trap om bo uit te kom, en ons raak so gefokus op die onregverdigheid daarvan, dat ons begin vergeet waaroor dit werklik gaan…  Elke liewe dag by die werk, is ‘n geskenk van God…  Dis deel van ons lewe – en wanneer ons dit omwens, of net deur die motions gaan, is dit dae wat ons verloor…  Dae wat ons nooit sal kan terugkry nie…  Kom ons probeer om ons fokus te draai – weg van alles wat nie reg is in ons werkplek, weg van mense wat onregverdig bevoordeel word, of wat ons tenakom, en kom ons fokus om ons werk van harte vir God te doen…  Om Hom eerste te stel, om op Sy krag staat te maak, en vir Hom die eer te gee met alles wat ons doen…  Ek belowe jou – deur jou uitkyk te verander – sal jou werk vir jou nie “net deur die motions gaan” wees nie…  Jy sal dit kan uitvoer met “purpose” en terwyl jy dit met “purpose” doen – sal jy God se boodskap ook kan uitdra op die aarde…  Maak ‘n verskil – God sal sorg dat dinge uitwerk soos dit moet…  Jy sal, wanneer dit God se tyd is, die beloning kry vir dit wat jy insit!  ‘n Persoon wat op ‘n onregverdige / oneerbare manier bo kom – sal nie daar bly nie…  Die wiel draai altyd…  God sal sorg vir jou as Sy kind…

Blessings!
