Align

After all the talking about sin etc etc, it feels a bit somber. The fact of the matter is this:

John 6:40 in the Message says: This is my Fathers will - that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who He is and what He does and then aligns to Him will enter real life (eternal life).

The dictionary gives the following definitions to the word align:

verb (used with object)

1. to arrange in a straight line; adjust according to a line.
2. to bring into a line or alignment.
3. to bring into cooperation or agreement with a particular group, party, cause, etc.
4. to adjust (two or more components of an electronic circuit) to improve the response over a frequency band, as to align the tuned circuits of a radio receiver for proper tracking throughout its frequency range, or a television receiver for appropriate wide-band responses.

We should align (bring into cooperation or agreement) ourselves to Him and we will have rest, peace, this holidays and forever. He has done everything for us already. Now it is our turn.

Then we will see God's plan again:

1. God accepts Jesus and shows Him His heart - Matt 3:17
2. Angels come and serve - Mat 4:11 Jesus rests in Him.
3. The Holy Spirit leads Jesus - Mat4:1 It's all God's plan

God has a plan for us, He has a heart for us, even before our formation, and we will find rest in Him.

Do not be an idiot

We are living in a rebel state Not since the transition from the apartheid government to the ANC governed democratic dispensation have we seen such a state of fear. The majority of residents understand that this would alter the course of the world significantly, while it seems other regard this situation as a holiday. See some videos below: I am not a person who lives in fear. I am not a person who easily critises either. I would love to think that I keep a clear perspective in most situations and that I am able to discern with great caution what causes human behavior. I love to think about what motivates others. In the our locked down state, who have a number of extremes: The ones who fear. People who panic shopped and intend staying not even in their year only, but ONLY inside their homes. Fortunate, some say, as they can afford to do so, negative, others say, as they see dooms day already. For most, quite a bit selfish. The middle man. People who obey the rules an

The danger of success

There was a time in most of our lives when a simple thing like eating out was a big effort. We had to save up until we had enough money and then only go to places we can afford. To some of us this may have changed. So much so that my wife and I can dine out at least once a week. In many other areas we also do not lack anything. We are blessed and can enjoy life, although we do not consider ourselves as rich. What happens as we grow older is that we gather up more and more stuff. Our furniture increases and becomes more expensive. Our cars are bigger, as is our houses. We get so spoiled with the comfort and luxuries we enjoy that we blind to others needs. We are compassionate and show sympathy, but have lost touch with hurt and pain. The introduction might have been all about money and wealth, but there is more to giving than that. We give our money as we see fit, but is that all? What about our time? What about some effort? Jesus himself said that it is more difficult fo

A new world order

People are living in fear. People are scared. The fear of losing their lives, their loved ones, their work, their possessions. People fear the fact that things will change. As the saying goes, there is nothing to fear about change, but change itself. Remote working is at the order of the day. All companies that could continue with business in some shape or form is currently trying to establish ways and mechanisms to continue remotely. A Harvard Business Review highlights the following: Challenges of remote work: Lack of face-to-face supervision Lack of access to information Social isolation Distractions at home How managers can support remote employees: Establish structured daily check-ins Provide several different communication technology options establish rules of engagement provide opportunities for remote social interaction Offer encouragement and emotional support What is clear from the above it that no one actually can prepare you fully for remote work
