The Word is going forth

I am including a link to the Proverbs 31 Ministry web site homepage today. Wendy Pope had a devotion recently that talked about reading through a chronological bible in one year. The response has been unbelievable.

I love how God can use the simplest of ideas to bring His people in to a closer fellowship with Him.
Please take the time to check it out.

I would also like to send a warm Happy Thanksgiving out to all of you. My family will be taking a week away and spending it with my parents in Florida. We are very much looking forward to no set schedule for several days.

I pray that you will take some time to analyze what you are thankful for and give those praises to God.

Blessings,

So, what is next?

There are many mixed emotions in our country today. I dare say it runs the entire gamut from elation to all out fear.

In prayer in the wee hours of Tuesday morning I was drawn to many examples in the Old Testament where the Israelites cried to God for a King. When He would allow them to have the king they asked for what happened? Every time they ended up with times and seasons of bondage.

I realized that many people in our country were crying out for a king to take away their problems.

Next I was drawn to Daniels story along with his three friends; Shadrak, Meshak, and Abendigo. These young men were exiled and thrown in to potential bondage because their people wanted a king. But what these men did to stay safe, and even come away with more than they went in with was to hold true to the commands of God.

I felt strongly that God was directing me to see that no matter what happens in the coming days, weeks and even years; as long as I do not compromise my obedience to God's commands I and my family will be safe and come out on top. This road will most likely have bumps and even craters in it, but I do not have to be tripped up or fall in.

I am continuing to pray for our nation and all of its citizens.

Blessings,

Please seek God's direction on Tuesday

We are coming up on an extremely historical election for our nation and the entire world this Tuesday. Personally my spirit has been stirred for many weeks to fast and pray. Myself and many of my blog buddies are asking that our readers take the time to fast and pray on Monday.

Tracie Miles has a great entry on her blog, I urge you to visit and take the time to read the entry.

I know what the bible says on abortion and the sanctity of marriage. For me those are the two defining factors on my vote. I must be able to stand before my Lord and Savior and know that I stood true to His word and voted only for people that will uphold those biblical truths.

Thanks for your support and prayers.

Blessings,
