EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
I’m here today to encourage you to read God’s Word daily. Many of us have read the Bible from cover to cover- but even then, remember that what we read yesterday is not enough to keep us safely on our path for today. Read some more! Always read. Never stop the truth from infiltrating your heart.
I’ve done enough writing, researching, and memorizing to know that most of my preparation has to be done in prayer first and then in the Word of God, and daily with both. It’s the only way to sustain our hearts and minds with God’s peace. Without it, I’m unfunctionable. Yes, completely unable to do anything without the confidence I receive from God each morning through scripture reading.
On my own, I am not able to write words as I receive them from God, words that might have influence by God to transform a life. Yes, I might share stories and sometimes relate to other people’s stories…but it’s only the anointing power of God that attends to the words. God brings them alive in the hearts of the people reading them.
Without God’s truths, they are only empty words. If I shared my stories or commentary without the Word of God, my message would be lacking the very thing people need to experience —the Lord’s touch. His power comes from His Word.
Please don’t just read the messages; dig deeper. Feed on God’s Word to prepare your soul and spirit for what’s ahead.
God gave me this verse to write inside every single one of the Bibles you see in the picture below. Many of you donated these Bibles to the orphans in Africa in a past mission trip we did.
There was a reason for this verse below. Please understand when we read God’s word, it guides us, it keeps us from falling into the pit, and it illuminates our every path each day we live and breathe.
Hold this verse tightly❤
(Psalm 119:105)
“Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”
