I am enjoying our cover to cover readings more than I thought possible. I have never read the Bible this way and to say I am blessed is an under statement! There were so many familiar verses this week, so it was difficult to choose what lingers. I'm loving the gospels.
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Matthew 21:22)
Recently I found an old prayer. It was in a drawer I had saved since 1975. I begged God to save me a place on the JV basketball team. His hand was on my life back then. I must have believed I could only make the team with God's help. I did end up making it and I hope I gave Him the credit!
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:28-31)
This sounds so simple. It really is simple, yet I make it complicated.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. (Matt 23:25-26)
These verses convicted me big-time. They made me think about how much God cares about my heart! If my heart is like His, the world will see the truth and they'll want Him too! I keep reading it over and over again. I am still digesting those verses. I don't ever want to be called a hypocrite!
"As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. (John12:47-48)
Honestly, this is one area I struggle with in my life. I am so relieved that I am not the judge! I am NOT the judge!
I'm praying for our country this week and that we all make wise decisions on Tuesday! God won't be surprised by the outcome! I pray His will is done!
Much love,
Angie xoxo

God always had His Hand on your life - in 1962 through this day, He loves you so, Angie. You bless me beyond these few words. I love that you saved that prayer.
When are we going to learn to play the piano like this? I'll have to wait for heaven for a voice like that! Beautiful prayer song, too--God keep us under Your Wing. We've never needed You more. Amen.
Hey Girl,
I am so glad that you are enjoying the commitment you made to go through the Bible Cover to Cover. I did it last year and enjoyed it so much. I think I need to do it again.
I pray that we are [ALL] on our knees praying for the nex 48 hours and that we get out and vote!
I love how you always use music with your posts.
Bless you, Cindy
I loved reading your prayer...
hope my boy is writing one
trying to make the varsity team...
See, there's that
childlike dependence you have
always had and
it is now surrendered
for His Glory!
Praying with you for the election...only two kinds of people in life and it's not Democrat and Republicans...
it is those who trust God
those who do not trust Him.
Tuesday won't change that.
We will trust Him, no matter what.
Isn't it a great feeling to look back and see how God was working in our lives when we didn't even realize it? I loved your words today and re reading His words. These are the things I need to be reminded of. I, too want to be clean inside and out. God sees straight to the inside. Blessings to you, my friend!
It is hard to believe that we have almost completed the year! I have saved for my kids their written prayers and will hand them over one day! They are so precious!
That sweet you kept the prayer - sweeter yet that you wrote it!
What a wonderful look back at a faith walk that continues to move forward.
Your love for the Word of God and our Savior Jesus Christ is infectious! One of these days I am driving to Michigan and we are going to have coffee and praise time!!!!
Much Love!
