Thankful

Today was a hard day. I am so glad that God's mercies are new every day and that he is always with me! For more about my little "Funk" today...feel free to read my other blog! thefourscarbarys.blogspot.com

Yesterday, my Family and I visited my Mother in Law's church for Sunday service. The sermon that was preached spoke to my heart in so many ways.
The sermon was about David and Goliath..... comparing the battles we have today with the battle that David had with Goliath. David put his whole faith in God when he went to fight Goliath..... he did not wear the armour that was offered to him...instead he took only 5 smooth stones and a sling shot..... He had faith that his God would protect him and make him victorious. When David went to fight Goliath he RAN to him..... RAN... he was not afraid.... he knew God was with him.
Like David, I am faced with Giants like Goliath.... disobedient kids, finances, fear... you name it, they are GIANTS! God is waiting on me to call him for help! My God can handle anything and.... he already knows what help I need.... I just need to ask. The devil tries to control me all the time, I just need to remember that the devil was defeated at the Cross and can do me no harm.

The sermon yesterday reminded me that I am not alone and that no battle is to big for God!! Ask him for help..... He is ready and available.... any time....day or night!

An Answered Prayer!

My husband's workplace has been like a zoo lately... (like many others I am sure) He and another co-worker has been having prayer before they get started every morning for the last 2 weeks.

Last night he asked me if I new of a good Bible verse that he could use for this morning. Of course I said yes!! (LPM Scripture Team to the rescue!!)

I think it is so wonderful that my husband has started to do this at work. For him to show his faith by using scripture and prayer is a big step in his walk with the Lord. Since we moved he has gotten away from using it like he did in the past.

I know that God will bless his efforts and show him that He is the only one to lean on and trust during these days.

Thanks for your prayers for him...

God Bless!

4th Memory Verse for 2009

I am a few days late with picking my 2nd scripture for the month of February for the LPM memory team. Better late than never I guess!

This will be my 4th memory verse for the year!

"Nothing is too difficult for my God."Genesis 18:14 NIV

If your interested in joining in... it is not to late.... visit Beth Moore's blog at livingproofministries.blogspot.com for more information. It is such a peace to know that scripture can be used to fight for us. What a powerful sword!

A Little Behind

I have been so busy catching up from our weekend that I haven't decided on my next memory verse for the 15th. I plan on looking through the Bible tonight and seeing what I can find. I will post the verse tomorrow. It is hard to believe that it is already time for the 2nd verse for February..... Boy does time fly!
