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.

6.15.12

Proverbs 24:6 For by wise counsel you can wage your war, and in an abundance of counselors there is victory and safety.

My Thoughts
This really struck me today.  I thought "People, leaders only wage war if they feel confident that they can win!"  When we study God's word, get it in our hearts... know it...we are able to wage war against the devil and win!!  When we surround ourselves with wise people of God through Bible Study, Church Services, Sunday School.... Good books on God's word...then we are insuring our victory and safety over the devil.

No good King, no good leader goes to battle unprepared... neither should we!!  When we know God's word enough to call on it (we don't have to know the exact book and verse), when we have learned to hear the Holy Spirit directing our actions, when we have gone to God in prayer and seek-ed his council, when we have surrounded ourselves with Godly people ... we have prepared ourselves for a war that we are prepared to win!!

God will give us victory over the devil... we just have to know God, know God's word so well that we are not fooled by the devil himself when he uses God's word to trip us up! (Thank you Pastor David for helping me understand this!)

Every day we wake up to a battle... a battle between good and evil... we need to have every weapon at our disposal to win that war!! Be must be prepared!
