save us from the waters that surround us. As I write this book, I know of someone who feels flooded and doesn’t even have time to
read the Word of God or have a moment of devotion with God because they have to beat a 2 hour traffic to the office every morning,
spend the day in an office they give themselves to but one that unashamedly is so
unresponsive and unthankful, then beat the evening traffic to go home to a sweet child
whose
welcoming question is “why don’t you leave this job and spend more time with me?”
Why be king of the concrete
Before turning out the light, there is a soft whisper from a loving spouse that says, you carry
jungle while the hearts of your
too much on your shoulders… and my friend dozes of asking how… till the next morning for
spouse and children lie in ruins
another flood…
The good Word says to guard our hearts, for from it (the heart), flows the issues of life. In another section of the same word is a
comment that in our treasures are where our hearts are. So if you are flooded to the soul, aren’t all your treasures flooded and swept
away? You treasure the Lord, but you allow the waters of the world to overshadow that presence - the presence that bears all the
treasures.
The weeds were wrapped about my head.
As you sink, the weeds begin to wrap around your mind so you stop thinking and seeing clearly. Your hands are forced to stop
working on the important and you start trying to disentangle yourself from the weeds. Your feet stop moving in the right direction
and you stand to fight the weeds.
This is what happens when you remove the focus from your calling. Everything else entangles you and you can neither move
forward nor backward. Take a moment of refreshing rest and analyze if you are entangles in the world’s demands on you. Choose to
step away from it all and into the light of God’s Word which offers peace, rest and joy. The demands will never cease and the
further you move away from God, the more entangled you become and the further your call gets separated from you.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy
Have you ever watched a child touch something hot despite loud warnings and they get burnt? A refusal to follow through on one’s
call is like that. Someone literally says that he has chosen to pursue emptiness and they do not want to hold onto the good/ favour
