The Lie of Scarcity

September 28, 2018October 1, 2018 Yvette

A few years ago I became quite convinced that the reason I was single was that there were no suitable single, Christian men. At least none remotely close to my age. This perception was largely informed by my experiences at the various churches I had attended...

The way ahead may not always be clear but we can rest assured that the Lord goes before us and He has good things prepared for us!! #exodus23 #godgoesbeforeus #godhasgoodplansforus #jesusistheway #lovedbygod #goodthingsahead #thebibleisalampuntomyfeet #godholdsthefuture #jesushasgoodplansforyou #allthingsworktogetherforgood #aljazirahalhamra Some days it can feel like we sit in the ashes of our lives, nothing seems to be going right and there is nothing we can do but cry out to the Lord. But it precisely in these times that we need to hear His words to Moses and to us, that even when all looks bad His presence is with us. He will give us rest (and peace) in the midst of our troubles and He will bring us into all the good things He has for us. Take a deep breath and know that God’s got this! #peaceinthestorm #godsgotthis #exodus3314 #ingodspresence #hewillgiveusrest #nothingtofear #jesuswonthevictory #victory #restingodslove #bettertimesahead #mytimesareinhishands When we face challenges in life often the first thing we do is to run to a close friend or family member to tell them what is going on and seek their advice or their help. And while there is nothing wrong with that the Bible tells us that it is only God who can give us perfect peace and only when our mind is fixed and set on Him. Today take your troubles first to the Lord and see Him move mightily on your behalf. Then you can share not only your troubles but also the Lord’s goodness and provision with your nearest and dearest. God bless you today and keep you in perfect peace. #peacecomesfromgod #godiswithus #isaiah26 #keepyourmindonjesus #takeyourtroublestogod #seekhimfirst #jesusistheanswer #peaceinthestorm #miraclesstillhappen #prayerispowerful #lovedbygod Sometimes it feels as though we face the same struggles over and over, and we wonder when will this end or when will I have victory in this area. We can keep trying and trying to change ourselves or change our circumstances but with little or no success. The Lord though wants to deliver us, He fights for us and all we need to do is stand still and look to Him and rest in Him. Today stop striving and start resting and see His mighty deliverance 💕 #choosepeace #restinthelord #exodus1414 #thelordfightsforyou #wewillovercome #darknesstolight #peaceinthestorm #lovedbygod #standstill #fearnot #leavingthebadbehind As I reflected on 2018 and was writing my new blog entry on Making the Move from Mr Wrong to Mr Right (link in bio) I realised that sometimes I would quickly say no to invitations to things that I hadn’t done before or where I might be alone. I would say no out of fear and not faith. So this year I want to be bold and courageous with the Lord, I want to say yes more often and trust my loving Father that He will be with me.  The Bible says that we have not been given a Spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind! What might you say yes today? #sayyes #spiritofhope #faithnotfear #stepoutinfaith #bestrongandcourageous #socialanxiety #youarenotalone #takeachance #mrrightiscoming #faceyourfears #confidentwomen Spending more time in the Word of God is at the top of my list of things to do in 2019! His Word is life and health and healing! Not only that but the more I know of His word the more I know my saviour and the promises He has for me. For more thoughts on this and If you are looking for a fresh start this year and renewed relationships check out my latest blog post (link in bio) on Making the Move from Mr. Wrong to Mr. Right. #mrrightisoutthere #godswordistruth #godswordislife #thebibleisthewordofgod #knowthebible #spendtimewithjesus #beinspiredbygod #godspromisesneverfail #yourhusbandisontheway #goodthingsarecoming #nevergiveup
