The Lord is my Light and My Salvation

I forget. I forget the promise,
I forget that no foe has a chance against my Lord.

I forget that there is no enemy who can come close to overcoming the
stronghold of the Lord.

I forget that God is strong enough, powerful enough, wise enough,
loving enough, resourceful enough, and is determined to protect me
from anything, or anyone that may try to harm me.

When life gets dark I forget that He is my light. When I am in the
midst of battle I forget that He is my salvation. When I feel weak and
weary and worn-down I forget that He is my stronghold.

I forget, so I must learn to remind myself

When others are afraid, or discouraged, or weary, or near defeat, I
must remember to remind them.

So, just in case that description fits you, I remind you, "The Lord is
your light and your salvation-whom shall you fear? The Lord is the
stronghold of your life-of whom shall you be afraid?"

Impassed

Am impassed not just by two politicians, but impassed. my prayer life is impassed. i pray and it hits (or is it heats) the roof, i call out loud and am impassed. my one true friend has impassed me.

Jesus, surely your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, surely you'll keep me in perfect peace (he whose mind is stayed on thee), surely oops.......i digress

i looked at my life and found the reasons. i was pushing my own agenda. i fought and fought but the thing was my agenda. it has conditions that Jesus must meet, my beloved friend must meet, and you wont believe it, i also lay conditions about the kind of life i will live with the Lord. he is a bystander....you know a silent listener to my foul speech, callous nature and party spirit.....surely he was not going to be head over this my house? am impassed.

woi Raila, woi Kibaki.... YOU ARE JUST but proving one thing. your selfishness is true of me everyday......i'd do the same thing if i were in your place..........so as i pray for the impasse in the nation to end, i am only too aware that you have no power of your own to stop being selfish. i will believe in His Spirit.....cos its not by might, nor by power but by his spirit.

So dear Lord. clear this great chasm for me and my friend and this nation. it is all i ask.

sad today?

There is good reason for everything today. There will be good reason for everything tomorrow. What we do today when we are sad will determine tomorrows everything.

comment on kenyan situation

Open your eyes to the good things that God is doing. If you don't see them its not because he isn't doing it but you are too preoccupied with anxiety. 'Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God'
All the time fear occurs remember, it is not backed by heaven. Heaven backs peace, love and contentment
