Hi ladies!! I have just had a crazy busy last week or so. Doing Upward with Shannon, regular kids' activities, housework, errands, Bible Study, preparing meals, and last but not least, just spending time with my husband and kids---whew!!! My brain has not been able to think of an awesome blog this week. So I decided to open my Bible and see where the Lord takes me........
"Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you." (Jeremiah 32:17)
I am so happy that I serve a God who knows EXACTLY what I need. I kid you not, this is the first verse these tired eyes came across when I opened up my Bible. Just when I start to feel overwhelmed with stuff, God pulls me close and whispers, "Remember who is in charge here... don't try to take the weight of the world on your shoulders, dear one. I am capable of far more than you...."
Thank you God for that breath of life... the living word that freshens my soul.
I would love for you all to share your "Open your Bible and let God's word find you" experiences.
I opened my Bible and a paper from 1988 was in there. On a trip to Haiti we passed papers around and wrote our favorite verses on them. Here is the first one I read
ReplyDelete"God has made everything beautiful in it's time; He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." Ecclesiastes 3:11
His mercies never cease and I really cannot imagine all the good he has intended for us!
I copied this verse on a card from the other days bible study. It says how I feel now that we've finished with this last study...Philippians 3:10
