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.

5.6.11

Psalms 105:19 Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character.

My Thoughts
Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery....and through it all he remained of good character... all the time trusting in God..... in the end he became a leader... trusted by Pharaoh to make decisions... trusted with Pharaoh's seal. Joseph became a great man after great tragedy! Alabama, and the surrounding states have been hit by great tragedy.  We are called the Bible Belt.  I pray that we are like Joseph and show great character all the time trusting in God.....and  in the mist of great tragedy we come out strong... I pray that people look to us and see God in us....I pray that they what what we have and that like Joseph became a trusted servant ..... we become a trusted state of people... leaders in a country that need to look back to God.  I ask that you pray this prayer too!! Not just today...but over the coming days, weeks, months... even  years.  Nature is testing our character, God is watching,  we want to come out strong like Joseph!
