W@W WRAP – Week 344
Who Reigns Supreme in Your Life? – As we look at the world around us, there appear to be many 'supreme rulers' of people's lives… power, money, big houses, flashy cars, fame, expensive jewellery, 'likes' on social media, the latest fashions, and the list goes on. What about you? Who, or what, reigns supreme in your life? May we draw closer and closer to God and allow Him to transform our hearts, minds and souls with a deep and renewed understanding of who He is. This will enable us to stand victorious against the storms of life, serve as co-workers in God's Kingdom, respect and value each other, and live differently as we honour and glorify the King of our hearts! (Matthew 22:37)
W@W WRAP – Week 343
Giving Thanks to our Lord Always! – How often are we intentionally grateful for the things and people in our lives? Are we able to give thanks even during times of struggle and doubt? Our Lord tells us that in Him there is life, grace and strength, even on days when we don't understand what is going on. By recommitting our lives to Him and seeking a closer relationship with Him, we can find comfort, rest and joy. It's His breath that gives us life, so may we pour out our praises and glorify our Father in Heaven, now and always! (Psalm 100:4 & 1 Thessalonians 5:18)
W@W WRAP – Week 342
To GOD be the Glory! – God takes care of every detail in our lives. He takes care of what we eat, where we live, what we wear, and even the people who are in our lives. We don't have to be anxious about anything but trust in our Lord to guide, help and sustain us through our times of worry and difficulty. We can be confident that He is always faithful, bringing redemption and restoration, and He is working all things together for our good and His glory! May we experience the presence of our Lord as He goes before us. He is behind us, beneath us, above us, and all around us, in our coming and going, in the morning and the evening, now and forever! (Matthew 6:25-34)
W@W WRAP – Week 341
What is your Why? Have you ever stopped and wondered why you react, respond or make certain choices? Are your choices motivated by love or fear? It is crucial for us to reflect on our 'why'! Thankfully, our Lord Jesus guides us in this vital aspect of our lives. By reading God’s Holy Word, we not only learn the 'why' behind our current thoughts and responses, but also our purpose for living! (1 John 4:18-19)
W@W WRAP – Week 340
Light in the Darkness… Have you ever experienced a power outage at your home or your business? It can be a frustrating and disorienting experience, especially at night when everything goes pitch black. Many in South Africa and other parts of the world endure power cuts daily, so others can have electricity. This is a great reminder of our spiritual calling to shine our lights in the darkness that is so prevalent in today's world. May we be a people who live and walk in the light of Jesus, and who lead others out of darkness and into the loving, gracious arms of our faithful Heavenly Father. (James 1:17)
W@W WRAP – Week 339
Where does my help come from? – Do you ever run into challenges and feel like you have nowhere to turn? While family and friends are a wonderful source of strength and wisdom, they are also frail – and often in need themselves. Where then shall we look? May our first response always be to look to our Lord, Who tells us over and over again in His Word that He will be our help, if we will but ask. He has all the strength, power, wisdom and love we need. We can always count on Him and He is only a prayer away. (Psalm 27:1-5)
