David Study

Hi all,

I am currently doing an online study of the life of King David by Wendy Blight. The study is open to anyone. You can check it out at http://www.wendyblight.com/ This is a 6 week study. I hope you will join! I will probably be posting sporadically. Love & prayers~

God's Blessing

Proverbs 10:22
"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it." (TNIV)

How encouraging. If we have God's blessing, He will make us prosperous and there is nothing that we have to for it, but trust & rely on Him! Remember this as you go through out your day. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your blessing. You are an awesome God! I trust and rely solely on you. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Little Children

Matthew 19:14
"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belong to such as these.'" (TNIV)

Let's have childlike faith and wonder as we go throughout our day. I want to challenge myself & you to try to incorporate childlike curiosity daily and lets see what happens...

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for reminding us to just believe and rely on you. I pray that I will have faith like a child. In Jesus' name, amen.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

James 2:26
"As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead." (TNIV)

Our actions need to reflect our faith. Of course, we are not perfect but we need to put a little action behind our faith. For example, spending time with a loved one, sharing, being nice to a stranger for no reason, smiling, etc. There are so many things that we can do. Have a great Monday and make someones day!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your kindness and forgiveness. Help me to share your love with those around me. In Jesus name, Amen.

All we need is Love

Romans 13:8
"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law." (TNIV)

Wow. I know I am always on the subject of Love, but it is every where in the Bible--so I can't help it. Everyday we need to be reminded to LOVE others. That in order to be happy we need to share God's love in a gentle and humble way. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your love. Thank you fir sending your son, Jesus. Help us to share your perfect love. In Jesus' High & Holy name, amen.

Peace Gives Life

Proverbs 14:30
"A heart of peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." (TNIV)

Wow. I know that I do not want my bones rotting! There are times when I get envious and I have to check myself and my thoughts--that is the enemy. Normally if I feel this way it is because of an insecurity that I have, but thankfully God's Word is the cure. Since I have been reading it regularly, I am developing a self-confidence that I have never had before. So, if you ever feel envious pray about it, read God's Word and ask Him to help.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your TRUTH. Help me to see the root cause of any envious thoughts and reveal your truths. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Good Things

Psalm 34:10
"...but those who seek after the Lord lack no good thing." (TNIV)

Find time to be with the Lord daily and he will give you everything you need. My life is changing because of it--for the better. I am dependant solely on Him. Get in the word and trust Him; He is faithful!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your promises and for your provision. I ask that we will grow more everyday that we spend in your word. In Jesus name, amen.

Praise Him

Psalm 119:175
"Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me." (TNIV)

I want my life to praise God. I want to use my gifts and talents for him. I want to have a closer relationship with Him as I study His Word. Being conscious of this and giving it all to God will allow us to have a closer relationship with Him.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word and your guidance. Help me to understand as I seek your Word and have a closer relationship with you. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Thanks to God

2 Corinthians 9:12
"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord's people but also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God." (TNIV)

I am in 2nd Corinthians again. Adding on to yesterday's post, when you do what god puts in your heart--your passion, many people get something from it and it also works like your thankfulness to God. If he put a gift in your heart he will bless it. When you create, share, whatever your gift is you are being obedient to God. He made us just the way he wanted us and we each have a special job that no one else can do. Thank God that he took the time and detail to make each one of us unique!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for the gifts that you have given me. Thank you for making me unique. Help me to use my gifts the way you intended me to. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Rich in Him

2 Corinthians 9:11
"You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God." (TNIV)

What are you rich in? What has God blessed you with that you can share with others? This verse tells us that He will make us rich so we can share on every occasion. Lets share our talents. If we are good at something, we need to do it and share it...it does not have to be money. When we do this God gets the glory. Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for your riches. I pray that you will open my eyes to the riches you have blessed me with and help me to share your goodness. In Jesus' name, Amen.
