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.

4.4.11

Luke 11:9-10 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."


My Thoughts
I love this...it tells me that I can keep asking....and God will answer me.... it also tells me that somethings I need to want something bad enough to ask over and over and over... sometimes I need to know how important something is to me before God gives it to me so I will be aware that it was a gift from God. The next few verses go on to say as parents we want to give to our children...and God wants to give us more than we even know to want to give to our children. As parents we sometimes wait to give to our children so when they get what we give them... they will be more aware of how important the gift is that they have... and they take better care of it after wanting it so bad.  God answers our prayer in his time but for our benefit.  When the answer is wait and ask again... our response should be "yes Lord, thank you!"
