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.

7.29.10

Proverbs 20:10 False weights and unequal measures -- the Lord detest double standards of any kind.

My Thoughts
We like to think of this in a business term ... that way we can read it and think...I am fair and move on... but it says that the Lord detest double standards of any kind... so this verse encompasses so much if we stop and think about it ... if we want somebody to smile at us, we need to smile at them... if we want somebody to do extra little things for us (our spouse) ... we need to do extra little things for them.... if we want somebody to call us, we need to call them.... if we want somebody to work for us, we need to work for them when they ask..... if we want somebody to listen to us, we need to listen to them.... if we want somebody to care about us, we need to care about them.... if we want somebody to be our friend, we need to be somebody's friend... what is it that you need in your day, from your family, from your work, from your friends... are you doing that thing for others?  I know that sometimes I'm not doing what I expect in return... I am going to work on this!!
