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.

8.24.11

1 Corinthians 15:58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable.  Always work inthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

My Thoughts
I love this verse!!  "Nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless." Wow that is so exciting.  We are to stand firm, be imovable alsways doing our best.  What God knows is that our best changes as we grow in Him.  Even Jesus grew in wisdom, he didn't have it all at once. Luke 2:52 tells us Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God. We need to do our best for God at the place we are and keep seeking wisdom.  We don't have to look back and say I could have done better. God knows that we grow, God recgonizes we we do our best at the place that we are at. God is pleased with us when we try our best where we are. It says right here that nothing we do for God is ever useless. The Amplified Bible says that nothing we do for God is "wasted or to no purpous." So each time we think "God would be happy with me if I ______________." Know that God is happy with us when we choose doing for Him. It can be as simple as being kind when we feel grumpy. God always knows when we make an effort. I think we all  need to know that we are noticed for our effort. So many times we feels that our efforts to please others simply goes un-noticed. Our efforts to please God never, ever goes un-noticed. For me that is such a comforting, rewarding thing to put into my rememberence. Anything we do for God, everything we do for God matters! Now that is exciting!
