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.

8.23.11

1 Corinthians 15:10 But what ever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me--and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace. (Paul)

My Thoughts
I love this God took Paul who had killed so many Christians and turned him into a believer that went around starting churches that would reach so many! Paul a murder, Paul an unbeliever!  God took Paul and poured out his special favor and changed him so drastically. God turned Paul's passion against believers into a passion for believers!!  If God would do that in Paul what will God do in our lives.

I was reading along and when I got to these words... "But what ever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me," these words made my heart jump ... I felt great joy in my soul.  I know that God has changed me.  God has given me such peace. I know that God's grace has made me able to do so much that I could not do before.  The more I seek after God, the more time I spend on having a relationship with God the more God pours out his grace on my life. The more I know God the more able I am to see all the blessings he has poured out on my life. The more I know God the better my life gets.  It is so exciting that someone as powerful, as wise, as loving as God is, loves me enough to bless my days!

Just think of those words...poured out his blessings...My visual of this is a pitcher of water being poured into a glass.... if you poured the pitcher of water into a glass and kept pouring it would fill the glass up, then it would over flow and surround the glass. The wonderful thing about God blessings is that he never runs out, we can never use them all up!!
