05/31/11

Some lovely flowers for today... anyone know what they are called?
I cannot believe how hot it is for the end of May.

YUCK.

I actually worked on making supper tonight.

I burnt the beans because I was too busy trying to multi-task.

I hope the rest of it is good.

I am going to finish up my Bible study Breaking Free tonight. I will say a big part of me is sad this one is coming to an end. I can't say enough how much this study has helped me. The Lord has helped me understand how to "Break Free" and now I am looking forward to "Stepping Up" into what He wants to show me!

Here is something I read last night from the study and wanted to share today. It was precious to me.

"The gospel is so arranged and the gift of God so great that you may take the very enemies that fight you and the forces that are arrayed against you and make them steps up to the very gates of heaven and into the presence of God... God wants of every one of His children, to be more than conqueror.... You know when one army is more than conqueror it is likely to drive the other from the field, to get all the ammunition, the food and supplies, and to take possession of the whole... There are spoils to be taken!

Beloved, have you got them? When you went into that terrible valley of suffering did you come out of it with spoils? When that injury struck you and you thought everything was gone, did you so trust in God that you came out richer than you went in? To be more than conqueror is to take the spoils from the enemy and appropriate them to yourself. What he had arranged for your overthrow, take and appropriate for yourself."
