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.

3.13.10

Psalms 56:13 For you (God) have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O God in your life-giving light.

My Thoughts

God will rescue us from death... he will give us eternal life... He left us a whole book on how to be rescued.... and if we read his word, his instruction and couple it with prayer it will change us... and make us whole... its good to hear the preacher preach.... and it wonderful to go to Sunday School and study  your lessons..... but when you take time to read God's word for yourself it changes you in a different way... Just like Mathew, Mark, Luke and John all got different things from walking with Jesus, we all get different things from reading Gods word and talking to God... have you ever read a book and start talking about it to someone and you both picked up on such different parts of the book... well that is how the Bible is... and that is why we need to read it ourselves....so we can find the part that is seeking to us... the part that tells us what God wants from just us... The preacher can tell you what God wants for the all the people in his Church... the Sunday School lesson telsl you what the person that wrote the Sunday School lesson got from that part of the Bible... but the Bible tells you what God wants from you... prayer and God's Word show you what God wants of you so he can rescue you from death....God wants us to walk in his presence and shine his life-giving light on us... how glorious that will be!!... I challenge you to get a One Year Bible and take the journey with God that was meant for only you!
