Find encouragement and insight for your walk with God through these devotionals.
Welcome back. The previous time we discussed the significance of your task. In the eyes of the world your presence here on earth might seem insignificant, but don’t believe that lie. Every action of yours has an impact, and it could have a wonderful impact on someone if you act according to the Word of […]
When I listen to famous Christian leaders talk about this subject of God’s plan for your life, I envision this major thing happening in my life. I imagine big things, things happening in the limelight, something major etc. The way it is sometimes preached it sounds like it is going to be something significant. But […]
The Lord works in ways we never thought of. He works in ways we never expected. When we start with our God-given task we might think that it might work out this way or that and then something totally different happens and we stand in awe. When the Lord called Moses to lead Israel out […]
Now, we have discussed at length that the Lord can use anyone He pleases. Anyone that is willing to make them self available for His Service. One of the people we discussed was one of Israel’s judges, Gideon. The Lord called him a mighty hero and asked him to come and rescue the Israelites from […]
I have discussed in my previous devotion that the Lord uses anyone He pleases. I have discussed how He uses ordinary people as well as people who committed some or other ‘big’ sin. But of course the Lord uses influential, important people as well. There are a couple of examples, but I will quickly pause […]
God can use anyone. We have spoken about it in the previous devotions, but truly the Lord can use anyone He pleases. We have touched on the fact that He uses ordinary people. He used people like Moses, Gideon, David etc who were nobodies in the eyes of the world. There are various examples of […]
We have looked at people with a poor self image, that didn’t believe in their abilities. We have looked at Moses, Gideon and Saul. But I would now like to shift to someone who had an okay self image, but who was looked down upon. No one gave him a chance in life and thought […]
The theme so far has been that the Lord uses anyone He pleases, even ordinary people. If He has a will for your life, He will let it come to pass. Your job is only to listen and to obey. As I looked into this topic in the Bible it was interesting to note that […]
We have learned so much from Moses’ life. He was an ordinary person whose life changed dramatically when the Lord called him into service for Him. His life changed from a lowly shepherd in those days to a mighty leader for the people of the Lord. He was arguably one of the most influential and […]
The Lord wants you to follow His Voice and to do what He requires of you. But it might be very difficult. It might not be the life you envisioned for yourself. We discussed the life of Paul in the previous devotion, but I would like to continue now and look at the life of […]
I would like to continue with the same theme that it might not be easy once you start with what you believe the Lord asked you to start with. The excitement of starting the life that the Lord has planned for you could be very thrilling and something that will make you feel as if […]
We ended off last time where Moses was down and out. I think that must have been the lowest point in his life. He left his comfort zone in the wilderness in order to follow the ways of the Lord. But since accepting and acting on the call on his life, he has been ridiculed […]
Welcome back. We are going to continue with our discussion of the previous devotion. As we discussed, don’t be surprised when you encounter difficulties when you start out with your new God given task. We can learn so much from Moses when he started out to rescue the Israelites. The new God-given path that Moses […]
Moses started to move and was obedient to the Lord and His calling. He returned to Egypt to start with his formidable task of freeing his people from the evil pharaoh. Now one might expect it to be smooth sailing from thereon. The Lord was by his side and he was obedient to his calling. […]
Now before we continue with Moses’ story, sit back for a moment and think of the times where you had excuses when something was required of you. Think back to that time and imagine how different things could have been if you didn’t make the excuses, but rather trusted in the Lord for a better […]
Welcome back. As I said in the previous devotion, excuses are a part of our daily living and we tend to easily make excuses without really thinking about it. But we need to look up to the Lord and trust Him that He knows what is best for us. If He asks something of us, […]
Excuses are a part of our daily life. Some are better at making excuses, whilst others find it difficult to make some as they want to please everybody. But at some or other point in time we all made an excuse, especially if it was something we didn’t want to do. Whether we told the […]
I am truly excited to share with you the wonderful things that God is going to reveal to us. I don’t even know what is going to come of this blog or what I am exactly going to write to you, as each word is truly going to be led by the Holy Spirit. So […]
As I already said in the previous blog, sometimes the Lord calls us to do something and the choice to obey is up to us. I am not simply talking about big life changing things. It could also be something small. You see most of the time the Lord tests us with small tasks and […]
The Lord wants to use you, no matter where you are or what you are doing! I am not insinuating that all of us go into ministry and work full time for the Lord. But there where you are at the moment, listen to His Voice and listen carefully to what He wants to tell […]
