I shared with you weeks ago about how a former missionary shared with me how they read through the bible when they were missionaries. I followed Holy Spirit guidance and I began to read. I have read through the bible from cover to cover once before years ago but I find myself truly enjoying the bible reading it this way. Each time I pick it up to read it I am reading a chapter from six different sections of the bible. It amazes me how I could be reading something from The Old Testament and find that something correlates with it in The New Testament on that very same day with what I am reading.
This morning as I was reading I wanted to not put down the bible because I was so enjoying reading about how God came through so very strong when He used the plagues against Pharaoh to let His people be set free and leave Egypt. I am seeing all kinds of stuff in the bible by reading it. It is the most exciting book to read it truly is. I challenge you to pick up the bible and start reading it.
Prior to stumbling upon a scripture verse the other day I realized that I prayed that verse in my daily prayer time but I was wording it differently than the bible states it. Guess what I did? I copied the verse down and carry it with me so when I pray it now I pray it the biblical way. Amazing, simply amazing to me that what I prayed in my own words had the same intent behind it but it seems so much more clear with the words prayed from the bible. See, Holy Spirit really does direct one in their prayer time if you would just allow Him to do that. He knew the intent of my heart and I prayed it from my heart and now it is so much more precise since the intent is now connected with the correct words. I love the Lord so much, He cares so much for me that in the right time He allows me to see things in a clearer view. That just amazes me, it truly does.
I was blessed today to have the opportunity to share with a pastor and to even encourage them too. It amazes me how God sets up events in your life to not only be blessed but to bless another. Now, this truly had to be the working of Holy Spirit because in the natural I should have not even had the opportunity to connect with this pastor for it has been several years since I worked for an organization that indirectly connected me with this pastor. This pastor found my information that I left with them a few years ago and contacted me. I am telling you that it is all God's timing that caused this to be today. I was told that my voicemail greeting message encouraged them. Did you ever come across a person's voicemail greeting message that when you hear it it just blesses you? You can use your voicemail greeting message to encourage others. Let Holy Spirit guide you in creating a message of hope and encouragement for others to hear when they call you. Someone could be having a bad day and then they had to call you for one reason or another and you just lifted their outlook on life that very day just by your simple greeting on your phone message. I challenge you to go ahead and step out in faith and let Holy Spirit inspire you to update that voicemail greeting message you have. You just never know who will call you and how you will bless them with your greeting message.
God is good all the time and all the time He is good. He just amazes me, He truly does. Can you tell that by my words and enthusiasm that Holy Spirit is doing something in my life? I cannot wait to read tomorrow about God showing up strong defending His people and how He did it in a great way. Ask Him to show up in your life and let Him defend you in a strong way too. Remember it states that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. So, if He did it in the past, surely He will do it in the future and be assured He will do it for you today too.
Be blessed and pick up the bible today and share in the excitement of reading it.
