Do you know God? How would you rate the intimacy of your relationship with Him? Do you know His will for your life?
Mark 11:22-24 (AMP): Jesus replied, “Have faith in God [constantly]. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and does not doubt in his heart [in God’s unlimited power], but believes that what he says is going to take place, it will be done for him [in accordance with God’s will]. For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [in accordance with God’s will], believe [with confident trust] that you have received them, and they will be given to you”.

YHWH JIREH, Hebrew for “THE LORD WILL PROVIDE” means “God sees”. The provision of God can be understood to mean: “God sees the future and knows the past and present – He therefore sees and knows our needs even before they become apparent to us and He then makes provision for what will be needed”. Still, we sometimes get discouraged and start to doubt God’s very nature as our PROVIDER – especially when it feels like we are asking God to fill a need, or for a positive outcome for a desperate situation or for that miracle we’ve been praying for, for years…
Genesis 22:13-14 (AMP): Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering (ascending sacrifice) instead of his son. So Abraham named that place, “The Lord Will Provide”. And it is said to this day, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be seen and provided”.

Salomo waarsku ons om nie lui te wees nie, maar om soos ‘n miertjie te wees – sonder iemand wat hulle aanpor, oppas, regeer of lei werk hulle kliphard om genoeg te hê om van te leef – hulle is slim en fluks in alles wat hulle doen!
Spreuke 6:6-11 (NLV): “Jou luiaard, gaan leer by die mier. Kyk wat hy doen. Leer wat wysheid is by hom. Hy het nie ’n leier, of ’n opsigter, of iemand wat agter hom staan nie. Hy kry reeds in die somer sy kosvoorraad reg. In die oestyd maak hy kos bymekaar. Jou luiaard, hoe lank gaan jy nog lê en slaap? Wanneer gaan jy eendag opstaan uit jou slaap? Nog ’n bietjie verder slaap, nog ’n bietjie lê en sluimer, nog ’n bietjie hande gevou lê om uit te rus. Skielik oorval die armoede jou soos ’n struikrower. ’n Tekort aan kos oorrompel jou soos ’n gewapende dief”.

A relationship is defined as: “The way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected or associated”. The ingredients for a strong relationship include fundamental building blocks like trust, respect, honesty, loyalty, patience and love. None of these are achieved without knowing each other – coming back to the time we spend together.
The most important relationship we have is with our Heavenly Father – this where our life and existence flow from. If we want to cultivate an intimate relationship with God, our hearts and flesh (our entire beings) need to cry out to be in His presence. How do we achieve being in God’s presence – seeking Him above all else?
Psalm 84:2 (NIV): “My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God”.

I was challenged this week to take a deeper look into how our lives (our actions and reactions, the joys and sorrow – the things that flows from our hearts) reflect and worship God.
How often do we go through the motion of “worshipping” God with our lips while our hearts are far away from Him? Worship reveals the true condition of our hearts. It reveals who is truly King and Lord over our lives. It reveals who or what holds the highest priority in our lives. Our thoughts, words and actions flow from the condition of our hearts.
Hebrews 13:15-16 (AMP): “Through Him, therefore, let us at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name. Do not neglect to do good, to contribute [to the needy of the church as an expression of fellowship], for such sacrifices are always pleasing to God”.

Do you believe that God will do everything in His power to save us from the evil plans of the enemy? Even if it looks like evil is prevailing in our day and age, even if we are faced with painful or difficult circumstances – as children of God, we have HOPE! Jesus victoriously defeated the devil, and is now inviting us to join His winning side. God, our Lord, is right next to us, fighting with us against our enemies, fighting to save us (Paraphrased Deuteronomy 20:4).
Our scripture this week comes from Galatians 5:1 (NKJV): “Stand fast therefore in the liberty (freedom) by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage”.

Our response to difficult situations or to tragedies exposes the foundation on which our lives are built. How do you respond when confronted with a crisis? Who do you run to first, when you need help?
Romans 15:13 (AMP): “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises”.

As jy nie weet wat om te doen nie (as jy hulp nodig het) – STOP vir ‘n oomblik. Bid en vra ons Hemelse Vader wat om te doen. Luister wat Hy in jou hartjie sit om te doen. Dink aan ‘n Bybelversie of storie om jou te bemoedig en te herinner aan hoe Jesus sou optree as Hy in so situasie was. Dink aan God se liefde en genade vir jou. En tree dan op volgens God se wil!
Moet nooit die krag van gebed onderskat nie.
Lukas 6:29 (ABA): “As iemand jou op jou wang slaan, dan moet jy jou gesig draai sodat hy jou ook op jou ander wang kan slaan. As iemand jou bo-kleed vat, dan moet jy ook jou onderkleed vir hom gee”.

What does family mean to you? Do you feel loved and welcomed by your family (or extended family)? The world around us has changed significantly over the past few years – with the advancement of technology; the influence of Social Media; and shifting priorities, cultural standards, and belief systems. No wonder many people believe that the definition of marriage and family has evolved… but let’s not be deceived. Let’s go back to the original design for marriage and family life!
Genesis 1:27-28 (AMP): “So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them: Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth...”

As we continue to look at God’s original design for marriage and family life, I felt God prompting me to ask myself some important and challenging questions. Would you take time this week to consider these questions?
1. What is your understanding of a healthy and strong marriage and family?
2. How do you think healthy, strong families influence healthy, strong communities and ultimately nations?
3. If you are concerned about your family, what Bible verse do you reference first? What is your first response?
4. Reflecting on your family and marriage – what is one way you have grown and developed personally, and in your family relationships?
5. What advice would you share with couples and families going through tough times?
Psalm 127:1 (CEV): “Without the help of the Lord it is useless to build a home or to guard a city”.
