Day 33 “Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.” Psalms 18:49 “I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.” Psalms 57:9 “I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.” Psalms 108:3 “Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.” II Samuel 22:50 “God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon earth,…

Day 32 “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:14 kjv In the day and age that we live in with all our entertainment — TV, sports, iphone, ipads, games & gadgets — I suspect that God is a VERY Jealous God. Our energy and focus in being zapped away with all the electronics. We hardly have time to think about Him…must less talk to Him.  Of that, I find I’m guilty too.  I’m not a gadget person, but I have spent numerous hours on my laptop. What if we were to spend even half the amount of…

Day 31 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” II Cor. 10:5 kjv It’s time to STOP the “stinking thinking“… I have to admit, this is a hard one for me.  Satan likes to remind me of my past failures and all my flaws. He rubs my past failures in my face often. These thoughts are certainly not from God. Dwelling on our flaws and past failures hinder us from being used of God like we could be because we get so focused on our “shortcomings“.  We begin to believe that…

Day 30!  Wow, only 10 days left… I didn’t know if I would have enough to say to keep blogging about one topic for that long…we’ll seeeee 10 days from now?? 😉 Ever feel guilty about praying for yourself?  It’s true that our prayers should be directed toward praising God and then praying for others.  But, we’ve also got to pray for ourselves. At times, we really need a LOT of prayer.  God instructs us to, “Call unto me“… “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3 His promise is that “I will ANSWER thee”… “and shew…

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 kjv Today I chose the verse above because it’s my mom’s life verse.  Before beginning my second grade year in school, God had called my dad to preach.  We sold many of our possessions and moved to Springfield, MO into a trailer park so that my dad could attend Bible college. When my mother chose Luke 9:62 as her life’s verse, she realized that there’s no looking back when you make a commitment to serve the Lord.  The possessions, the job position, or whatever…
