Reading is a great love of mine. I read books, magazines, devotionals, the Bible, saying on cards, words on pictures. Many times when I'm reading someone I know comes to my mind and I send them a Bible verse, a paragraph from a book I'm reading, or a cute saying. Here's a few things I've been reading lately that really caught my heart.
~~~ At the "perfect" age of 120, Moses caught a NEW vision of the promises of God. So, how about asking God to help you grow in faith beyond anything you have known yet. Anna spoke words over the newborn Christ, words that strengthened the faith of many. Why not ask God to give you words for others that will give life and strength?
~~~Is your body lying down, and your mind sitting up? If anxious thoughts keep you awake, ask the Lord to quiet your heart and give you the faith to be able to relax and let Him solve the problems that disturb you. (Read Psalm 4)
~~~The Bible is an expression of the very heart of God.
~~~Uncertainties can dominate and rule a person's life. Do we have to have all the answers? Do we need all the whys answered? Faith is not trusting in your understanding of the circumstances. Faith is trusting in His Word! The enemies of God will use fear, discouragement, and frustration to wear down those who are following God in obedience. We must keep our EYES on Jesus....for the EYE of God is on us. (Read Ezra 5)
~~~There's no other name by which I am saved. The world has nothing for me. CAPTURE ME WITH GRACE.
~~~So let's:
PURSUE God --- more than ourselves
DRAW Closer to God ---- more than entertainment (TV, computer, sports, etc.)
BE GROUNDED ------- know God and know ourselves
