Ons gaan deur 'n baie rowwe tyd met die Flourbasket, ons land (en die wereld) se ekonomie is op sy laagste vlak ooit. Ons moet 'n besluit maak, gaan ons aan of sluit ons die deure? Dis nie maklik nie, want dit is nie net ons as 'n gesin wat geraak word nie, maar ook almal wat daar werk. Ek lees toe vandag die dagstukkie en besef net weereens dat ons niks kan doen, geen besluit kan neem, sonder God nie:
Joshua 24:15, NKJ Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Every day we make hundreds of choices. We choose what to wear - what to eat - how to spend our time. From time to time we make more significant decisions - what car to buy - where to live - what job to apply for - who to marry. Some of the decisions we make are life changing decisions. Our decision to become a Christian is one of those life changing decisions. To live our lives as a Christian totally committed to Him, irrespective of the cost, is another of those life changing decisions. Joshua verbalised it this way: ‘as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord'. As we follow Jesus we will be challenged to make decisions that become life changing even though we don't always recognise this at the time. On a recent course a young lady shared the following testimony: ‘I have made many wrong decisions in my life but signing up to do the Modular School was the best decision I have ever made. It has been life changing. 'Perhaps you have reached a major crossroad in your life. Perhaps you are facing a difficult decision which will affect your life in a major way. Ask yourself what would some of the great figures in the Bible do if faced with the same situation? What would Joshua have done? What would the Apostle Paul have done? Even more importantly what would Jesus do? As you put God first and honour Him, even in the most difficult of decisions, you will find His peace and enter into His destiny for your life. Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me today to know what you would do in each situation that I face. Give me the courage to make the decision that you would make irrespective of the cost. In Jesus, Amen

Bid asseblief saam met ons dat ons die regte besluit sal neem...
Ai jong ek is so jammer om te hoor vd Flour Basket. Ben het so ongelooflik baie daarin gesit en ek is seker hy voel baie hartseer. Ek weet mens voel seker ook net so verantwoordelik vir al sy werksmense maar hy is ook maar magteloos teen die slegte ekonomiese tye wat ons in. Weet asb ons bid verseker elke dag vir julle. Dis 'n groot besluit maar ek is seker die Here gaan julle op 'n onverwagte manier seen as julle gehoorsaam is aan Sy wil. Ek dink sommer baie aan julle hoor!!
ReplyDeleteDankie Jy. WSeet jy, die HERE vat mens deur hierdie wildernis ervarings om mens sterker te maak en om weer in touch met reality te kom. Ons het ongelooflike goeie support van ons pelle en waar ons in die verlede al ons probleme vir onself gehou het, kon ons dit die keer nie doen nie. Een van ons pelle, Johan, is 'n CA en geweldig clued-up met finansiele issues. Hy werk nou saam met ons om The Flour Basket te red. Ons glo, bid en vertrou God se beloftes oor die afgelope 5 jaar sal waar word. The Flour Basket het vir 'n rede oor ons pad gekom! Dankie vir jou gebede, ons het dit nodig...
