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.

3.2.12

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds on sorrow to it.

My Thoughts
God adds no sorrow to the things he gives us!!  I wonder how many times we jump into something without waiting on God's blessings for us. How many times do we jump into a job... or a huge purchase without consulting God...then so much begins to happen with what we have go out and gotten into on our own.  If we had only consulted God first... then waited on His answer... we would have had no sorrow added to it! 

This applies to so much... how many times would we save ourselves sorrow if we just asked God first and waited on our answer? If we just ask God to please bless what we are about to say? If we ask God if we should make a purchase? If God blesses what we do... He adds no sorrow to it!! 

This verse has really touched my heart today!!  I can see clearly how God was not in so much of what I have done in life.... I know how much God has blessed me over the last couple of years!  I just need to make sure that I put God into everything, great or small.... I need to ask God for blessings over all that I do. I need to ask God and listen to his answer He has for me!

God is so good!!  God only makes good decisions for our lives... if God tells us no.. it is because he is protecting us...often from ourselves.

How many times we we change the choice that we are about to make if we stopped and said first "God please bless this thing that I am about to do." "God, please bless these words I am about to say." and if we thought about our words when we said, "God, Please bless this food I am about to eat."  God blessing are life changing!!  We need to call upon them in all that we do!
