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.

4.11.14

Psalm 80:3 Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then shall we be saved.

My Thoughts
I immediately thought of Mark 9:12 where the father is asking Jesus to heal his son and Jesus ask, "Do you believe?" The father says yes then adds, "please help my I belief!" That man wants nothing in the way of his child being healed and he knows that Jesus can help him even with unbelief. I love that verse and this one!  Both of these verses tell me that I can go to God with anything, I can ask God to help me with believing in Him, to draw me closer, to strengthen my faith, to help me with any inforgiveness I have in my heart. I can say'  "God help me understand!" I can tell God that I want to believe but am having a hard time and I need His grace. God answers our prayers that say I don't know how, that say believing is hard, that say loving is hard, that say I am far from you pull me back. All God needs to know is that we want Him in our lives. The word, "God help me!" Tell Him that...then He can help us with every thing else. Don't you just love it! 

I love the line in the song "Oh How He Loves Me"  where it says, "If His grace is an ocean, we are all sinking." His Grace is so much bigger than anything we face and God will help us with anything. We just have to ask!
