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.

5.8.10

John 5:44 "No wonder you can't believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don't care about the honor that comes from God"

My Thoughts
I wanted to understand this passage more...so I did some studying on it... it is talking about people wanting to please other people.... it is saying that we go around trying all the time to please other people, by the way we walk, talk, dress, by the car we drive, the people we associate with... we are constantly spending time wondering if someone is going to like what we are doing...but we forget to think will God like what I am wearing, will God like what I am saying, will God like what I am doing, will God like my choice of car, will God like how I am acting, will God like how I am doing my job today?.... we need to be more mindful of what God cares about than want people care about... we need to honor God with our thoughts and actions!!... so today when you find yourself wondering if somebody is approving of anything you are doing stop yourself and say instead will God like me today?... will God like my choices today?.. will God like what I am saying? ... wow I need to work on this... I am such a people pleaser... I am going to work on being a God pleaser!!
