God Covers All the Bases

God is just so good. I'm saying that with such a burn in my heart this morning for Him. Why is He so good? He's the great I am, His mercies are fresh every morning, He wants us to call Him DADDY! He loves us so much He sent His Son to accept the punishment for OUR sins. He covers all the bases....When He sees you are under attack, He has you covered, He equips you for the fight, before you even know what's happening. He IS LOVE. He's a solid rock, and foundation of Truth that we can stand on and NOT waver EVER.He's WON the battle....the one we fight every day against the forces of the enemy. And, OH, that AMAZING GRACE. How SWEET the sound, that SAVED a WRETCH like ME. I once was sooo LOST, but now I am FOUND. Was BLIND, but now I SEE.
Oh, how I have sensed Him by my side these last few days. I was in a situation yesterday that tested my faith. It was a man. A human just like me that listened to the enemy whisper in his ear "you tell her that adoptin is foolish, that those people she wants to help are not worth saving. they're dirty....oh, and tell her that this is the holy spirit talking...that'll get her." It felt like getting kicked in the gut...but then.......Truth whispered in MY ear. Does this sound like Me? Go, read My Word....compare this to the Truth that is from My Heart....does this sound like Me?" Hah! The enemy was trying to come through the backdoor and he was EXPOSED! i LOVE when that happens! And the rest of the day God confirmed His Truth to me OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Just so I wouldn't forget. GOD COVERS ALL THE BASES!

Amazing Grace

I am sitting here, after watching the movie "Amazing Grace", just about speechless. What an amazing movie. What an amazing message. And it's a true story.
James 2:14-16 says...14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if people claim to have faith but have no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? That is what the main character's journey was about. He found God. He was giddy with excitement and wanted to spend his life as a monk, praying and living his life in worshipful silence. But God had another plan....God opened his eyes to the pain and suffering of people in the world. And he used his faith to do good works. One quote from the movie has burned into my heart "Africa, your sufferings have arrested my heart...your sufferings, no tongue can express, no language impart". His heart was broken for the people of Africa and what they were suffering through the slave trade. But there is still suffering in Africa. There are almost SIX MILLION children that have lost their parents to AIDS, starvation and disease. And yet, so many of us turn a blind eye. I cannot be that person that wishes the suffering "go in peace; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about their physical need" any longer. We MUST join the effort to help. We MUST see that faith, without works in DEAD!


God's still, small, pure, lovely, amazing, love filled voice has been whispering His will in my ears and to my heart. "See through my eyes....feel with my heart, for just a moment, what I feel for the helpless, the hopeless, the sick, the dieing....do something. Become part of the wave that is My Love. I have given you so much grace. Share that with someone who needs it. Hear the voices of these children that can't speak for themselves.

Deeper Still/ My Peristant God

TODAY'S VERSE "So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better." Colossians 1:9-10 (NLT)

What a weekend I had. I attended the "Deeper Still" conference with Beth Moore, Kay Arthur, and Prisilla Shirer. What an incredible amount of Truth spoken this weekend. What passion these women had for the Word of God. What conviction I had to get off of my lazy behind and truly live the way I say I want to live. One of the speakers, I believe it was Kay, said that we need to be so full of God's truth, we spill it when we are bumped and bleed it if we are stabbed. It just HIT me so hard that I can have that same zeal for God that they had, I can KNOW THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE in a very intimate way, I can find my soul's only satisfaction, if I just open up His Word. Devotionals are great. But it's like a snack, when what I really need is a HEARTY MEAL. I want to know God, His character, His heart. And He gives us this through His words in HIS WORD THE BIBLE.
What is even more brilliant is know HE WANTS ME TO KNOW HIM!!!!! Check out the verse in this Ronald Ovitt this morning. He is persistent! He is out to have my heart. He WANTS ME TO KNOW HIM!
So...yesterday I prayed that He would help me through this journey, and asked "where do I start? His response? "THE BEGINNING". So I opened up my notebook and God's Word and I am journaling about all the things I learn about God's character as I read the Bible from front to back. I think I may blog this each week. After all what GIFTS OF JOY are the words of God Almighty!
