Shattering Rocks in Prayer

I downloaded a new app for my Asus Eee Pad Tablet and I’m having so much fun with it. I chose a Bible Study program in the New American Standard version. Several in our family currently face hard times and I found some significant scripture verses that not only bring into play but lend power to my intercession for them.

Do you need strength and want to declare victory over your life today? Then these are for you too!

For by you I have run through a troop;

and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

Psalm 18:29

May they praise God while they hold a two-edged sword in their hand,

in order to take revenge on the nations, and punish foreigners.

They bind their kings in chains, and their nobles in iron shackles,

and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced.

All his loyal followers will be vindicated. Praise the Lord! Psalm 149: 6-9

"Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges;

You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them,

And will make the hills like chaff. Isa 41:15

For the Lord GOD helps Me, Therefore, I am not disgraced;

Therefore, I have set My face like flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

Isa 50:7

And here’s my favorite:

"Is not My word like fire?" declares the LORD, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock? Jer 23:29

Spiritual Sundays ~ Not Just For Prophets

I smiled when I heard Pat Robertson on the 700 Club make this remark: “Doesn’t everyone talk to God?” He was referring to the jab that Joy Behar gave to Christine O’Donnell, running for Senate in Delaware. Christine was asked by one of her supporters why she goes out on a limb defending her conservative Christian convictions in such a hostile campaign. “Because God told me to” she replied. And for that, Joy called her crazy because she hears from God. The cry of my heart is to be able to hear God’s voice. When God speaks personally, there’s nothing else like it in the whole world. I studied the 25th chapter of Genesis this week and noticed how troubled Rebekah was during her pregnancy. She said “Why is this happening to me?” She was referring to the jostling in her womb. So she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her: “Two Nations are in your womb, And two peoples from within you will be separated; One people will be stronger than the other And the older will serve the y...

The Trade

My best friend’s husband died, but she did not place her wedding ring in a draw. She designed a new ring, an everyday kind of ring, and incorporated the diamonds from her wedding ring. I cheered her on for her ingenuity to keep his memory close at all times. A gal in my critique group wrote about the best Christmas present she ever received. She inherited her late mother-in-law’s mink coat. She loved her dearly, but when she put on the coat, she felt like she stepped out of the 1950’s. She hated the thought of it placed in a box and stacked on a closet shelf. Her husband took it to a furrier and surprised her at Christmas with a brand new mink stole. I choked up when I read her words of love for her mother-in-law and the beautiful mink cape she wore for a classy event in frigid Flagstaff during the holidays. The Spiritual Trade off I don’t have a mink coat or extra diamonds to create something new. I do have some thin...

A Memorial Day Reflection

Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls. Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts run through my mind. The journey of loss takes on various emotions. The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness. In a split second, I would forget he departed forever. I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home. My mind is realistic now. He's not coming back. There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars. He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day! And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...
