Laste / Burdens

Thought for today: Bear ye one another's burdens...
Gedagte vir vandag: Dra mekaar se laste...

Gal 6:2-10


Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.




Dra mekaar se laste en vervul so die wet van Christus. Want as iemand meen dat hy iets is, terwyl hy niks is nie, mislei hy homself. Maar laat elkeen sy eie werk op die proef stel; en dan sal hy grond vir roem hê alleen wat homself betref en nie wat die ander betref nie. Want elkeen sal sy eie pak dra. Maar laat hom wat in die Woord onderwys ontvang, meedeel van alle goeie dinge aan hom wat onderwys gee. Moenie dwaal nie; God laat Hom nie bespot nie; want net wat die mens saai, dit sal hy ook maai. Hy wat in sy vlees saai, sal uit die vlees verderf maai; maar hy wat in die Gees saai, sal uit die Gees die ewige lewe maai. En laat ons nie moeg word om goed te doen nie, want op die regte tyd sal ons maai as ons nie verslap nie. Laat ons dan, terwyl ons geleentheid het, aan almal goed doen, maar die meeste aan die huisgenote van die geloof.



Gal 6:2 - Bear ye one another's burdens - Sympathize with, and assist, each other, in all your weaknesses, grievances, trials. And so fulfil the law of Christ - The law of Christ (an uncommon expression) is the law of love: this our Lord peculiarly recommends; this he makes the distinguishing mark of his disciples. (Wesley)

I will lift up mine eyes...

Psa 121

A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

Praise God for He is Good!

Praise God for He is Good!


Psa 100:1 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

Psa 100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.


Psa 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.


Psa 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.


Psa 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Verklaar God se Almag of die klippe sal dit uitroep.

Vandag se boodskap:


God het ons geskape tot eer van Sy Heilige Naam. Ons moet Hom loof en prys vir Sy liefde en genade:

Job 7:17 -18 Wat is die mens, dat U hom so hoog stel en dat U op hom ag gee? En dat U hom elke môre soek, elke oomblik hom op die proef stel?



Eph 2:4-7 Maar God, wat ryk is in barmhartigheid, het ons deur sy grote liefde waarmee Hy ons liefgehad het, ook toe ons dood was deur die misdade, lewend gemaak saam met Christus—uit genade is julle gered — en saam opgewek en saam laat sit in die hemele in Christus Jesus, sodat Hy in die eeue wat kom, kan betoon die uitnemende rykdom van sy genade in goedertierenheid oor ons in Christus Jesus.


Luk 19:37-40 En toe Hy al naby die afdraand van die Olyfberg kom, begin die hele menigte dissipels God met blydskap te prys met ‘n groot stem oor al die kragtige dade wat hulle gesien het, terwyl hulle sê: Geseënd is die Koning wat kom in die Naam van die Here, vrede in die hemel en heerlikheid in die hoogste hemele! En sommige van die Fariseërs uit die skare sê vir Hom: Meester, bestraf u dissipels! En Hy antwoord en sê vir hulle: Ek sê vir julle, as hulle swyg, sal die klippe uitroep.



Psa 47:6-9 Psalmsing tot eer van God, psalmsing! Psalmsing tot eer van ons Koning, psalmsing! Want God is Koning van die hele aarde; psalmsing met ‘n onderwysing. God regeer oor die nasies; God sit op sy heilige troon.


Groet: 2Pe 3:18 Maar julle moet toeneem in die genade en kennis van onse Here en Saligmaker, Jesus Christus. Aan Hom kom die heerlikheid toe, nou sowel as in die dag van die ewigheid. Amen.

God's Promise to the world / God se belofte aan die mensdom:

Hi daar,

ek wil graag so 'n kort boodsakppie met jou deel.

Ek sluit 'n paar fototjies in van 'n reenboog wat ons onlangs afgeneem het. Hy was so groot dat ek hom in stukke moes afneem, 'n volle halfsirkel van begin tot end. En toe kry hy 'n eggo langs hom. God herinner ons gedurig aan Sy beloftes.


Tydens Thanksgiving word ons weereens op die hart gedruk om te besef hoe geseend ons is, en met groter dankbaarheid te bid vir God se Groot Genade.

Exo 19:4 Julle het self gesien ...dat Ek julle op arendsvlerke gedra en julle na My toe gebring het.
Exo 19:5 As julle dan nou terdeë na my stem luister en my verbond hou, sal julle my eiendom uit al die volke wees, want die hele aarde is myne.

(Exo 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Exo 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine)

Gen 9:11-17 En Ek rig my verbond met julle op, dat alle vlees nie meer deur die waters van die vloed uitgeroei sal word nie, en dat daar geen vloed meer sal wees om die aarde te verwoes nie. En God het gesê: Dit is die teken van die verbond wat Ek sluit tussen My en julle en al die lewende wesens wat by julle is, vir ewige geslagte: my boog gee Ek in die wolke; dit sal ‘n teken wees van die verbond tussen My en die aarde. As Ek dan wolke oor die aarde bring en hierdie boog verskyn in die wolke, dan sal Ek dink aan my verbond wat daar bestaan tussen My en julle en al die lewende wesens, in alle vlees. En die waters sal nie meer ‘n vloed word om alle vlees te verdelg nie. As die boog dan in die wolke staan, sal Ek dit aansien om gedagtig te wees aan die ewige verbond tussen God en al die lewende wesens in alle vlees wat op die aarde is. En God het vir Noag gesê: Dit is die teken van die verbond wat Ek opgerig het tussen My en alle vlees wat op die aarde is.

(Gen 9:9-17 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.)

Mag jy hierdie belofte jou eie maak.
