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.

6.14.10

Acts 9:31 The church then had peace throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, and it became stronger as the believers lived in the fear of the Lord. And with the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it also grew in numbers.

My Thoughts
In this passage fear means profound reverence. Reverence means: A feeling of profound awe and respect and often love.  We too can become stronger when we have profound awe, and respect and love for God. When we take time to spend time with God.  When we learn listen to the Holy Spirit inside us guiding us to make the right decisions.  The more time we spend with God, thanking him, learning what he wants for us and from us, telling God we love him,  the more we know when it is the Holy Spirit guiding us and our thoughts to do the right things to make the right choices. The more we listen to the Holy Spirit the stronger we will be!  The easier it will be to do the right thing over the popular thing.  Do you want to be a stronger person, respect and love God and listen to the encouragement of the Holy Spirit living inside you!
