Psalms 46:10

This is my first post and I want to start it out with one of my favorite verses. Psalms 46:10 says "Be still and know that I am God." Oh how that verse has changed my life. We all have adversity in our lives that is sometimes hard to understand. However, I have learned that if you wait patiently on the Lord, be still and listen, He always showers blessings and answers upon us.

My friend Valerie has encouraged me to do this and I am looking so forward to hearing from my fellow sisters in Christ. I always try to read something that is spiritually inspiring and one of my favorite books is Beth Moore's "Praying God's Word". If you have not read this book I highly suggest it. It gives scripture and prayer together. I have found it is more enjoyable for me if I just do a page at a time and then read the verses from the bible as well. Then I pray the verses and have been so blessed by that pray time there are no words to discribe it. I am going to end my post today with one of my favorite quotes from Beth's book.

"Why does God allow us to spend so much of life in the heat of battle? Because He never meant for us to sip His Spirit like a proper cup of tea. He meant for us to hold our sweating heads over the fountain and lap up His life with unquenchable thirst."


God Bless you,

Bev
