as i ponder over josef's relationship with god. the quetion which pop in my mind is: how much have i wrestle in prayer for him?
my anwer is minimal.
god is telling me that i must pray withe sweat for josef -- or anything that matters to me. it should not just be causal prayer but one of ernestness and determination. pray till it happens.
lord teach and strengthen me to be a woman of prayer.
i pray that you will show me too how to guide josef in his studies even as i spend more time with him from june onwards. not only in studies but in the things of god and current affairs too.
god give me wisdom on these areas. for i know your wisdom is unfathomable.
i have decided to read the new king james version instead of the living bible. i like the language better cos i think it seems more accurate.
let us study pslam 115 based on new kings james version.
v1 says
Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
firstly, we should not seek to glorify ourselves but god's name.
why?
cos god has been loving and faithful to us.
self application:
glory goes to god for bringing me to the new places to teach. my teaching and presenting abilities are from god. he has opened the door for me and has helped me find favour with the authorities.
as i enter the pasture, god will be with me and he will give me success in whatever i do. the thing he asks from me is to fear god and obey him. ensure there is no foreign god in my life.
You who fear him, trust in the LORD— he is their help and shield.
two actions on our part:
fear god
trust in god
why?
god is our help and shield.
self application
continue to live with the attitude that god is the highest authority in my life. not only that, live in the consciousnesss that he is alpha and omega, the beginning and the end.
nothing escapes from his eye. not that he is catching our mistakes but he is the all knowing god. the omniscient god.
live in that fear that i will give an account to god before his throne one day. let there be nothing that displeases god in mylife. let me live that when i see god face to face, god's smile to me is one of pleasure and delight.
it is the heart that matters. in all that i do, do it unto god. to please him, not to win man's praise or affirmation.
it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD. [a
to extol means to praise something very much.
how do we extol god?
