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.

3.27.12

Deuteronomy 7:6 For you are a holy people, who belong to the Lord your God.  Of all the people on the earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure.

My Thoughts
I love this!!  "The Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure." What a thing to read this beautiful morning!!  I have been really down for the last three days ... everything has made me cry... I felt myself falling into a deep depression... I have been sick and have not felt good at all... last night I was suffering from a scary tummy ache, a headache and such despair.... I called out to God and said please take this pain away!  I was talking about my tummy and my head... God knew that depression was a pain too... this morning I woke up to a beautiful day that made me feel like singing!.. I stopped and thought I am not hurting or sad anymore! I thanked God! Then I read this morning that I, me, I am chosen by God to be his own special treasure.

You might want to argue that this verse is in Deuteronomy... that God was talking to the Israelites...and here he was. But as soon as God made sure you knew...or I knew about Jesus...and about His great love for us... that is the moment God was choosing us to be His own special treasure. 

I hope to put this verse to my memory...so that next time I begin to feel useless...and unimportant to the world I can just repeat over and over out loud...so the devil can hear me!... so I can hear me... "God has chosen me, ME to be His own special treasure!"
