Day 13 of a 21 Day Fast ~ Testimony!

Friday is the day of the week that I normally fast.  The Lord really moves on these days and has me pray for very specific things as well as gives me words for the church and as if that is not enough He encourages me very much in my fasting.

This past Friday was no acception!  Thursday morning I had started praying for my husband to get a study bible because he is really pouring over the word of God and studying and I could see this would be a wonderful tool for him to grow in the knowledge of the Lord.  So I began to pray and throughout the day I just reminded God about my request.

I had looked on the internet and found one for $47 but was not about to go ahead of God in this area.  So I just kept saying "study bible" to the Lord.

Well Friday morning the Lord told me to look on the book shelf of the food pantry where I drop off donations but I knew from previous experience that there was not a study bible on the shelf.  Before I left I said out loud, " I need to check your bookshelf for something", then for some reason I said out loud,  " I am looking for a study bible."

There was a lady sitting with the director of the pantry going through the financial interview to verify her need for food and she spoke up and said, " I have a brand new study bible at home if you can wait here for a little while I will run home and get it and it is still in the box."

As you can imagine I was elated and gladly waited!  How awesome is our God!  He truly is tuned to our voices when we seek Him earnestly and when we pray according to His will and purposes He responds powerfully!

Be encouraged!

Proverbs 25

These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied: 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. 3 As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable. 4 Take away the dross from silver, And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry. 5 Take away the wicked from before the king, And his throne will be established in righteousness. 6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, And do not stand in the place of the great; 7 For it is better that he say to you, “ Come up here,” Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom your eyes have seen. 8 Do not go hastily to court; For what will you do in the end, When your neighbor has put you to shame? 9 Debate your case with your neighbor, And do not disclose the secret ...

Psalm 77

1 I cried out to God with my voice— To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me . 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah 4 You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more? 8 Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore? 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah 10 And I said, “This is my anguish; But I will remember the years of the right hand of th...

The Powerful Force of Water can Make Even the Sharpest Stones Smooth

Image
Water has a powerful effect on stones.  As it flows over rocks it smooths and shapes them into precious little stones. Erosion from water can carve deep grooves into the landscape of our hearts just like the word of God, but just like the beaver, we try to set up areas in our hearts to prevent the forceful effect of the word of God on our minds and hearts. Often we think our lives are open and willing to yield to the waves of the Spirit and the powerful force of conviction in our lives. We would much rather wade in the warm estuaries of our deception where silt and debris collect and the water is lifeless. But God desires that we enter into the waters of His word with total abandon. The water in Lake Michigan has been cold this week, hostile to my flesh.  I find myself inching my way in instead of diving headlong. How often do we proceed gingerly through His word running back to the shore of our comfort when it does not feel good to our flesh. As we come to Him i...
