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.

9.21.13

Galatians 15:22-23 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  There is no law against these things!

My Thoughts
The Holy Spirit is key in our lives!  Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to live with us when He went to heaven, so that we would have constant guidance, council, a constant presence of God in our lives.  Always with us.  When we are a child of God we are blessed with the wonderful presence of the Holy Spirit.  It is our job to tap into His love for us, His power for us.  We we see anything that is opposite of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness or self-control we are not in tune with the Holy Spirit inside of us.  We are not listening.

When we spend time in God's word, when we spend time in prayer, we improve our reception of the Holy Spirit inside of us.  Our time with God makes us more aware when the Holy Spirit speaks.  Knowing what the Holy Spirit produces in us is how we are able to know if have changed our channel and are listening to the world or if we have kept our dial tuned in to the Holy Spirit. How wonderful that God give us a way to be the person He would have us be!
