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.

8.1.11

2 Chronicles 31:10 And Azariah the high priest for the family of Zodok, replied, "Since the people began bringing their gifts to the Lords Temple, we have had enough to eat and plenty to spare.  The Lord has blessed his people, and all this is left over."

My Thoughts
This got me thinking ... have we forgotten God?  Have we forgotten that all we have comes from God? Our nations is thinking about defaulting on its loans because we are out of money!!  Homes are being foreclosed on ...one number I heard was that one million homes were foreclosed on last year.  Record numbers of bankruptcies are on the books. State and local governments are running out of money.  If all the Christians of our great nations would tithe I believe we would see a complete turn around!  God even tells us to test Him on this.  Malachi 3:10 says Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.

What if we were to get together as Christians and make a commitment... each and every Christian of this great nation for one month to bring in their 10% to God... to give back to God only a portion of what he has given us.  I think we would see a huge difference.... God says we can test him on this!!  God will prove himself if we give back to Him.  We don't need to run around grumbling and complaining about our government... we need to call out to God... we need to give back to God.  If we show ourselves faithful to God, God will show Himself faithful to us, to our country!! 

I would love to see every person who is on roll at a church show up on Sunday morning and give back to God.... I believe if we did this that we would make the news... and God would show Himself through a turn around in our economy!
