We often don't realise and appreciate our privileges! The South African economy is currently in the situation where there is
labour unrest. Our currency the Rand has depreciated against all major currencies.
Lives have been lost at our mines during
recent strikes. There are forces causing
tension between different race, cultural, religious and gender groups.

| Lights in Pretoria / Tshwane 10 October 2012 |
About a week ago large areas of Pretoria / Tshwane did not
have power for several hours! The cause
of the power failure was a fire under transmission lines. Tonight as I was walking in our suburb I
suddenly realized that all the streetlights are working! The houses have power and there are lights all
over as can be seen in the photo.
It is such a privilege! There are
millions in Africa and all over the world that do not have the privilege of
running water, electricity and light!
There is also a spiritual light. God’s Word says in Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light
to my path” In His light you will see a bright eternal future. You life will have purpose and meaning. Without His light the economic situation,
your family, your marriage, your employment, the political situation, the level of
corruption will let you stumble in darkness.
May you be encouraged to look up to Him who has life’s
answers. His Word is the owner’s manual
for us - the human race. Read it, listen to it, study it, and apply it
to your life and you will be transformed!
