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.

6.4.11

Proverbs 16:20 Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.

My Thoughts
God only tells us to do what is good for us. God loves us and only wants the best for us. So if we trust in God and do what He tells us to do we will have reason to be joyful. It's really pretty simple...Satin just likes to tell us it's hard. It doesn't mean life will always be easy...it just means that if we do what God tells us, if we consult God and listen to his instructions, God will always choose what is best for us. God sees the big picture...we see what is right in front of us. So even if we don't understand when God says no, God understands and chooses what is best for us in the long run. We just have to listen to God's instruction and trust the God knows... and the Bible tells us if we do this we will prosper and be joyful.
