The day with dianne Louise

Who can find a capable wife? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will not lack for anything good. She rewards him with good, not evil, all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:10-12 My Lord is my husband and therefore I am His wife. How good to hear Him speak these words over me. "Well done good and faithful wife." What a pleasure it will be to meet face to face. At last being able to see Him as He is. Awesome! When I walk through a difficult day and keep the faith, I treasure Him more, I treasure eternity more. Today was a challenge and after work I went grocery shopping and came home to kick off my shoes and make a home- made pizza and have a glass of my favorite wine. I received an urgent phone call. My mother had fallen and was injured, could I please come quickly.  This morning before work I went into intercession prayer and wonder what was happening. When the burden left I thought nothing of it until I saw my mother's sw...

Speak up for those who have no voice, for the justice of all who are dispossessed. Speak up, judge righteously, defend the cause of the oppressed and needy. Proverbs 31:8,9 Psalm 82 says: God has taken His place in the divine assembly; He judges among the gods; "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?" Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. Rescue the poor and needy from the power of the wicked." They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken. I said, " You are gods; you are sons of the Most High. However, you will die like men and fall like any other ruler." Rise up God, judge the earth, For all the nations belong to You." Today, through social media and television we see the injustice that the poor are subjected to. We are called to do justice to these. How can we do that? If a woman such as Christine Caine ca...

The fear of a man is a snare, but the one who trusts in The Lord is protected. Many seek a ruler's favour, But a man receives justice from The Lord. Proverbs 29:26,27 Being frightened of what others think can lead us to hold back or miss opportunities. Why not speak and find out what others actually say and be surprised. Favour, favor without strings, comes from the Lord. Real favour once tasted cannot be invented. The Lord's favour is the best by far. Amen! We create all sorts of scenarios in our mind, most of which are wrong. It is better not to surmise and speak than to stay away supposing you are not wanted. Bad move! Go for relationship! Amen!

Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Proverbs 30:5 God's word is true! What He says about me is truer than how I feel or what circumstances say about me. My God never fails me, I fail, but He, never. He sustains me, lifts me up, honours me, blesses me, fills my world with good things. He brings me into open places, gives me peace and rest. He says,"Let me do it." And I wonder at His words. Today is a new day in Him. He will show Himself new today, triumphant over all my enemies. He is my defence and shield. He is my crown, my victory wreath, my exceedingly great reward. He is my all in all. Amen! He tells me not to fear, He calms the storm, He brings the boat to land. He is my safety. Amen! I am blessed and highly favoured of the Lord. Amen!

An angry man stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered man increases rebellion. A person's pride will humble him, but a humble spirit will gain honour. Proverbs 29:22,23 Today I had an opportunity to speak to the three women who work for me about self-control in conflict. They listened. Praise God! One of my girls is Spanish and she said she struggled with the Australian way of avoiding conflict. We then talked about how to deal with conflict correctly. I love my girls!  I want to open the doors to a long and healthy success for the girls. I am stepping out constantly and pray I do not jeopardise their futures. Every time we have our weekly meeting I use a video clip of 'A minute with Maxwell.' John Maxwell has been a real blessing to our business and especially myself. We then discuss around the topic. If I can teach the team how to walk humbly, with justice and mercy, then I will have succeeded. Self-control is one of the best assets a man or woman can have. Amen!

Do you see a man who speaks too soon? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Proverbs 29:20 This proverbs constantly rebukes me because I can jump in too quick, especially when excited. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will work self-control in my mouth. The times I stop and listen and do less talking I benefit most. It is not nice to know we are being foolish my talking, but there's the rub. I pray I am a source of blessing to staff and those at Rotary today as I am the welcomer. The times I have my sight turned on is the times I am a blessing and if I speak what the Lord sees then I am a double blessing. Jesus told us to have ears to hear, He didn't tell us to have mouths to speak. In fact James tells us that the mouth is a forest set on fire. May the Holy Spirit be the bit in my mouth. May my mouth utter wisdom and blessing. Amen!

The one who trusts in himself is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom will be safe. Proverbs 28:26 It is so easy to trust in ourselves and when we do that we step back from the Lord because we have walked towards idolatry, and we are the God in the making. Satan tempted Eve with: 'you can be like God.' He failed to mention that they would lose their relationship with their God and that knowing evil would enslave them to being 'in sin.' His tactics have not changed. We were made to rule over what God gives us to rule over, no more, no less. His word tells us He is our provider, healer, comfort, guide, lover and friend. The trick is knowing what is ours and what is His. The world has loud opinions over what is our responsibility. Most of it is His. Our walk with Him is a learning process in which we discover our freedom, our responsibility is to love and obey, much like our little children, respond and obey. I have, for a long time now, had a hearing problem. I have no...
