February 21, 2018 “And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah; and they that wait for me shall not be put to shame.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49:23‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/isa.49.23.asv This verse is from one of my daily devotions. The above verse, the last phrase spoke to me. He will not put us to shame if we wait on Him. I have a tendency to think that if God tells me something and it doesn’t happen right away, it’s giving Him a bad…

February 12, 2018 “In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭56:4‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/psa.56.4.asv This scripture of the day along with the devotion were perfect examples of our Heavenly Father, how he listens and answers. He is alive!!! My prayer before I started this devotion was, I’m scared Lord. How He comforts. This took place last Monday, the first day of my new job and one year anniversary of my wreck. Either one can be stressful in itself, but the combination is still wearing on me. Jesus has me! He has this! It’s been a week now, and facing my worse…

February 4, 2018 “All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6:37‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/jhn.6.37.asv Throughout my blogs this past year, I have written about, Be still and let God, Be in prayer always, and prayer closets. This blog is possible because of God. I didn’t make any of this stuff up. God’s word, the Holy Bible tells us these things. The Holy Bible is God’s Holy word! Once, while talking to my mom, she asked me, who do I think I am? So special that God speaks to me? My answer, yes! But than I added, He will do the…

January 25, 2018 “Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.” I Peter 2:18-21 Wanted to touch base on…

January 25, 2018 “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/jos.1.9.asv “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end. And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11-13‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/jer.29.11-13.asv “If handed a lemon, make lemonade.”…

January 17, 2018 Psalm 1:2 “his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Why read your Bible and have Quiet time? Because the Bible says so? Because the church says so? For a good luck charm? To soften your concerns? Out of fear? A bargaining tool? I’ve used all of these excuses before, but they never stuck. It wasn’t until I…

January 4, 2018 “And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/rom.12.2.asv In one of my previous blogs I referred to talking care of ourself for the Glory of God. So that we can be used of God, not to look good in clothes, or look good to other people. Not even to like ourself better. If we don’t like ourself for who we are, any loss of weight might help a tinge, but I’m thinking we’ll still have the problem with self…

January 1, 2018 “Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but…

December 31, 2017 “Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭ASV‬‬ 2017 What a year! To share my year in a quick blog, January- a new grandson was adopted into our family. February- involved in a major automotive accident that almost took my life. But God had other plans. Oldest son moved out. March-my first book accepted for publication, have my very own publisher! Also started this blog. April- sold our home after one year on the market. Major family changes going on. July-had heart attack. Father-in-law died. August-youngest daughter moved in.…

December 22, 2017 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/isa.7.14.asv “Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And Jehovah said unto me, They have well said that…
