Scripture Memory Verse - January 2012

Hello Ladies! Please post your scripture memory verses here.

Kim, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27 NIV

Happy New Year!!!

Hello Ladies! I just got back into Huntsville and am spending the evening just catching up here at home. I have a very happy cat, Honey, sitting next to me (I left her for 5 days!) and have Travis Cottrell playing in the background. Every couple of minutes Honey gently places her paw on my arm to just let me know she's there. As I pet her head, she looks at me as if I hung the moon. She wants nothing but my attention, love, and affection. Oh, how that speaks to my heart! How many times during the day does the Lord just gently touch us to call us to spend time with Him. Oh, how He longs for my attention, love, and affection!

We're quickly approaching a new year again - 2012- and I'm still asking what happened to 2011?!? I've gotten to where I don't make resolutions anymore, though, every time a new year comes around - just prayers for the coming year. It is my prayer for 2012 that I become engrossed in Him, consumed by Him, wrapped up in Him. May I not forget who I serve - He is a holy God and worthy to be praised. He is high and lifted up, reigning victoriously over all! May He have all of my attention, love, and affection!

How about you? Do you have any prayers or resolutions for the new year? If so, please share them.

John Chapter 8-9 - Taught by Michelle Wein

Michelle taught today on the latter part of John chapter 8 and all of chapter 9. The one thing that really spoke to my spirit is not box God in - not in the trite sense that we normally hear, but in the sense where we tend to "shape" God to fit into our own little world. The Pharisees did that. They lived a life full of arrogance and pride, yet totally ignoring the One who could set them free from sin. The very people who claimed to know Him didn't recognize Him when he was standing in front of them! Ironic, isn't it?!?

How do we as children of God box Him in? Well, we do it in various ways. We allow certain pet sins to be OK, while ignoring the power of the Holy Spirit to banish them from our lives. We have faith for the small things, but fall to pieces when real sifting happens. We trust Him to work in our neighbor's lives, but don't allow Him to prune our very own. Oh, how we make small who He is!

Although we hear it many, many times, we need to truly get deep into our spirit the One whom we live for, the One whom lives within us. He is a big God and he is mighty to save!
