Altitude begins with an attitude of gratitude.

‘…with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard you hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’
Philippians 4:6-7

Dear God, I direct my eyes on You and trust You with all my heart.
I wouldn’t be without You.
Without your help I would not have moved much further in this wicked world.
Let me help You to make Yourself known to others
and let me enjoy Your benefits and share them with others in all simplicity.

Open up to God’s Voice in the morning

Every morning we can be thankful to God
that we may go on living in this life. –

Thine ordinances have I set before me.
31 I cleave unto thy testimonies:
O Jehovah, put me not to shame.”

thank You for this morning

Come, Father,
and give me the courage

Master of Offense – July 25

A DEVOTED LIFE

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all thing, endures all things. Love never ends…” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you have emotional expectations, I can tell you I have limited means to fulfill them. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a life time. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you walk away, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will be your friend, I…

Tunnel under resentment

Tunnel under resentment
and take the subway to forgiveness.

…be kind to one another,
tender-hearted, forgiving one another,
just as God in Christ also forgave you.’
Ephesians 4:32

Dear God
Let me be strong enough
to respect every creature around me
and to be a living example of a true Christian,
or serious follower of your only begotten son Jesus,
prepared to forgive those
who did wrong or even do not like me.

putting my own will aside to do your will, every day.
Please enable me to be a worthy Christian.

Our eyes and heart should be on the Most High divine Creator.
Onze ogen, hart en ziel horen op de Allerhoogste Goddelijke Schepper gericht te zijn.

Alive to God

ENGLISH

2 Kings 3:18

‘But this is only a simple thing for the LORD, for He will make you victorious… ’

• We should never limit the Lord to what we think He can do.
• What may seem impossible to us can be a simple and easy thing for the Lord to do.
• His desire is that we would walk in victory and not in defeat.
• Look at you problems and see them for the Lord’s perspective.

Prayer: Lord, You are great and You do miracles so great. There is no one else like you, so I will trust You with my challenges and difficulties and I will believe that they are easy things for You to solve. Amen.

A Vow Unto The Lord

In remembrance of the Word of God and the Law given to the world we make a vow

 

 

Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

May Thy rule come into my heart more and more, and Thy will be done in my mortal body.

Relying on the assistance of Thy promised grace to help in every time of need,
through Jesus Christ our Lord, I register this Vow.

 Daily will I remember at the Throne of Heavenly Grace the general interests of the harvest work,
and particularly the share which I myself am privileged to enjoy in that work,
and the dear co-laborers everywhere.

I vow to still more carefully, if possible, scrutinize my thoughts and words and doings,
to the intent that I may be the better enabled to serve Thee, and Thy dear flock. I vow to Thee that I will be on the alert to resist everything akin to Spiritism and Occultism, and, remembering that there are but the two masters, I shall resist these snares in all reasonable ways as being of the adversary.

I further vow, that with the exceptions below, I will at all times and in all places, conduct myself toward those of the opposite sex in private exactly as I would do with them in public — in the presence of a congregation of the Lord’s people.

And, so far as reasonably possible, I will avoid being in the same room with any of the opposite sex alone, unless the door to the room stand wide open.

Exceptions in the case of Brethren — wife, children, mother and natural sisters:
in the case of Sisters — husband, children, father and natural brothers.

From old prayers
