The Importance of Keeping God Almighty at the Forefront of Our Lives


 **Heading: The Importance of Keeping God Almighty at the Forefront of Our Lives**


**Scripture:**
Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

**5 Short Points:**
1. Without God at the center of our lives, we may struggle to find true and lasting help in a world filled with temporary solutions.
2. Acknowledging God as our Creator and source of all goodness opens the door to His divine guidance and support in every aspect of our lives.
3. When we prioritize our relationship with God, we invite His wisdom and strength to lead us through challenges and uncertainties.
4. Choosing to relegate God to the background can leave us feeling empty and disconnected from the true source of hope and help.
5. By keeping God Almighty at the forefront of our hearts and minds, we align ourselves with His perfect will and experience the abundant blessings that flow from His loving presence.

**Short Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, help us to always keep You at the forefront of our lives, recognizing Your infinite wisdom and love as the true source of all goodness and help. Guide us in aligning our will with Yours, that we may walk in Your light and experience the fullness of Your blessings. In Jesus' name, Amen.


My Story

In a bustling city where success was measured by wealth and power, a young businessman named David stood out. His sharp mind and charismatic personality had propelled him to the top of his industry, and he was admired by many for his achievements. However, despite his outward success, David felt a void deep within him, a sense of emptiness that no amount of money or accolades could fill.

One day, as he grappled with this inner turmoil, a wise old man crossed his path. Sensing David's unrest, the old man shared with him the truth of the Creator, God Almighty, and the importance of acknowledging Him in every aspect of life. David listened intently, his heart stirred by the old man's words.

As David began to seek the Creator in earnest, a transformation took place within him. He realized that true success was not measured by worldly standards alone, but by the depth of one's relationship with God. As he started to prioritize his faith and seek the Creator's guidance in all his endeavors, David found a sense of peace and fulfillment that had eluded him for so long.

With God at the forefront of his life, David's business prospered in ways he had never imagined. His relationships flourished, and he became known not only for his professional acumen but also for his compassion and integrity. The world took notice of the remarkable change in David, and many sought his counsel and help, drawn to the light of the Creator shining brightly within him.

In choosing to elevate the Creator, God Almighty, from the background to the forefront of his life, David had discovered the key to true fulfillment and success. And as he continued to walk in faith and obedience, his story became a testament to the transformative power of acknowledging and honoring the Creator in all things.

Blessed day

**Restoring Relationships**

Last Tuesday, during Eskom’s Stage 6 load-shedding, I sat in my dimly lit Akasia living room, staring at a WhatsApp message from my cousin Thabo. Our once-close bond had fractured over a political debate—ANC vs. EFF—that spiraled into personal jabs. His text read: *“You’ve become a coconut, bra. Black on the outside, white-washed inside.”* My reply? A venomous *“At least I’m not a populist clown.”* Pride, that sly serpent, had coiled around our tongues.   But as the generator hummed and my coffee cooled, Colossians 3:13 flickered in my mind like a candle in the dark: *“Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”* Unconditional. No asterisks. No “but he started it.” Just grace.   **II. The Theology of Broken Pipes**   South Africa knows fractures. Our Vaal River, choked by sewage and neglect, mirrors relational toxicity—grievances left to fester. Yet, Christ’s forgiveness isn’t a passive drip; it’s a flash flood. To “bear with one another” (Colossians 3:13) is to choo...

**Cultivating Patience**

 ## The Divine Delay: When God Hits Pause on Your Breakthrough (From My Akasia Veranda) Brothers, sisters, let me tell you, this Highveld sun beating down on my veranda in Akasia isn’t just baking the pavement. It’s baking my *impatience*. You know the feeling? You’ve prayed, you’ve declared, you’ve stomped the devil’s head (in the spirit, naturally!), yet that breakthrough? It feels like waiting for a Gautrain on a public holiday schedule – promised, but mysteriously absent. Psalm 27:14 shouts: *"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage!"* But waiting? In *this* economy? With Eskom plunging us into darkness and the price of a loaf of bread climbing faster than Table Mountain? It feels less like divine strategy and more like celestial sabotage. I get it. Just last week, stuck in the eternal queue at the Spar parking lot (seems half of Tshwane had the same pap-and-chops craving), watching my dashboard clock tick towards yet another loadshedding slot, my ow...

**Rejecting Shame Through Identity in Christ**

  I live in Akasia, Tshwane, where the jacarandas paint Pretoria’s streets with purple hope each spring. From my modest home, I watch the city hum—buses rattling down Paul Kruger Street, hawkers calling out at the Wonderpark Mall, and the chatter of students spilling from TUT’s gates. Life here is vibrant, yet beneath the surface, many of us carry an unseen weight: shame. It’s a thief that whispers lies about our worth, chaining us to past mistakes or societal labels. As a Christian writer, I’ve wrestled with this shadow myself, and I’ve learned that only one truth can break its grip—our identity in Christ. Let me take you on a journey through my own story, weaving it with the tapestry of South African life and the radiant promise of Scripture, to confront shame and embrace who we are in Him. ### A Personal Tale of Shame’s Grip A few years ago, I stood at a crossroads. I’d just lost a job I loved—a writing gig at a local magazine in Pretoria. The editor said my work was “too confro...
