I decided to start this blog (2010) because my son, John-Robert gave me a One Year Bible for Christmas, the New Living Translation... reading it has changed my life... I post a daily Bible verse on my Facebook page every day and it has been well received... I thought that this would be a wonderful way to share part of what I read each day!... I hope that you enjoy it.



This Year 2012 I am going to do things a little different... not much...just a little. I am again reading through my One Year Bible (for the 3rd time). But I am also using "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" by Joyce Meyer. This book is divided by putting scriptures under different categories so they can be used to speak over our life situations. Each day I will read a category of scripture and pick a scripture in that category to write about.

3.20.10

Luke 4:19  "... and that the time of the Lord's favor has come."

My Thoughts

Here Jesus is telling the priest that the things Isaiah had said would happen were coming to pass... that God sent him (Jesus) so that God could bless us with his favor... favor is defined as gracious kindness; approval from a superior; a special privilege or right granted or conceded...in order for God to find favor with us we had to be forgiven of our sins... and God so wanted to approve of us... to show us his kindness.... to give us the privilege to live with him in heaven that he sent Jesus to die for our sins so we could have his favor... before Jesus humans were doing such a poor job of finding favor with God that he had so send his son....we still don't do such a good job... but we have Jesus to make sure we are forgiven.... and what God wants from us is for us to try our very best to be the person he wants us to be ... we have to do our part and try... ... to do the things he ask... all we have to do is show God we want to be like him... and he sent Jesus to do the rest because we are human and we will fail... so walk today like God wants.... and when you trip up...and you will..... ask for God's forgiveness.... and thank him for sending Jesus .. then God's favor will shine on you so bright that you can't help but feel joy!.
