Well, here I am. Betcha thought I forgot, huh?
You would be right. Sort of. Although it's more of a remembering, forgetting, remembering, forgetting, remembering, running out the door, forgetting, then remembering again thing. (Did you get all that?)
I am still as convinced as ever, and grow more so all the time, that we desperately need to hide the Word of God in our hearts. I had an anxiety-inducing situation arise yesterday and I could sense the Spirit reminding me to fight it with the Word. (Only He said, "DO the Word.") Every time fear or anxiety, worry or doubt creeps in, I need a giant, Word-sized, fear-anxiety-worry-doubt-swatter so I can bat it out of the park, otherwise my (very untrustworthy) emotions can and/or will run away with me. This situation may not be resolved for a little while, so I have an opportunity to exercise my faith.
I was at the dentist the other morning - for the first time in I'm-embarrassed-to-admit-how-long - and while I was there the dental assistant took my blood pressure. (I didn't know they did that at the dentist.) Apparently it was quite good...and low. She made the comment that it was the blood pressure of an athlete, and asked me if I worked out.
Is it rude to snort out loud in the dentist's chair?
Anyway, I'll be working out my faith. It may be easy on the body, but challenging to my spirit.
Here are my verses this time:
Isaiah 64:4 NIV, "Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him."
Isaiah 61:4 NIV, "They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations."
Your turn. Just do it.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Okay, I seemed to have missed May completely. Funny how that happens. I did have two verses, but I was only able to work on one. I'll share both of them, anyway.
ReplyDeleteHebrews 7:25
Therefore, He is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to the make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them.
I really like that "uttermost" part. I need Jesus to intercede and intervene for me!!!!
I will continue to work on the theme verse for the camp I am going to in June.
Psalm 91:2
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God: in Him will I trust.
