When the word becomes life

Have you ever been reading the Bible and all of a sudden the words seemed to leap off the page..they have just become life to you. The word is always true, however, when you spirit man latches onto it and it becomes real then it has truly become life. This life giving flood of light has happened to me more than once but I do recall one time in particular. The thing is it is still working in my life. I have not always handled this enlightenment well, I have to be honest with you about it. There are times this life giving word has spurred me to achievement but even when I was being less than stellar it is there in the background blinking away like a warning light or a reminder if you will. It happened in this manner( sorry I couldn't resist the phrasing of this,grin)- there was a young mother who wanted time to read the Word and the only time she was able to do this was when her little daughter laid down for her afternoon nap. Now this young mom, who was for lack of better words, in her own spiritual diapers, a toddler in the ways of God, had heard that EVERY thing you need can be found in the Bible. Now this young mom was a bit overweight and wanted to find what the word says was the solution to it.(Remember she was a baby in God herself), She searched and could find nothing. Knowing that nap time was quickly coming to the end  and if she didn't read something somewhere she was not going to have time to read anything. In frustration she said to herself," I am just going to throw the Bible open and where ever if falls is where I am going to read today. This is ridiculous." So throw open she did and this is the scripture it landed on...remember what she was originally looking for--Isaiah 55:1-3 'Ho everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters: and you who have no money, Come, buy and EAT. Yes come, buy wine and milk without price. WHY DO YOU SPEND MONEY FOR THAT WHICH IS NOT BREAD,AND YOUR WAGES FOR WHAT DOES NOT SATISFY? LISTEN CAREFULLY TO ME AND{EAT WHAT IS GOOD}, AND YOUR SOUL SHALL DELIGHT ITSELF IN ABUNDANCE( OR AS THE KJV SAYS-FATNESS)INCLINE YOUR EAR, AND COME TO ME. HEAR AND YOU SOUL SHALL LIVE;AND I WILL MAKE AN EVERLASTING COVENAT WITH YOU- THE SURE MERCIES OF DAVID.'
Now here I had spent time looking for the answer to my weight, for yes I was that young mom. These scriptures grabbed hold of my heart. Here is what The Lord was telling me. Come and eat from the Word and the Lord Jesus, He and His promise are sure, true and free. Why are you spending your money of junk food and your wages on things of life trying to fill what can only be filled by me. Listen, Pay attention-eat healthy food, live in me and your soul shall live. Get fat in the Spirit and you will live and be in covenant with me. I will give you the sure mercies of David... There I was with my jaw hanging...for God had found in the word what I was unable to find on my own. He hears ALL of our cares and Yes I will say every answer is in HIM.

been busy?

Been busy lately? I know I have and half the month has gone by and I had yet to post. My apologies for the lapse in time. God has been faithful and true during this last couple of weeks. I have been to see my weight doctor and got a good report. While I was there I saw the PT and nutritionist and all is well. Why the post about the mundane of my life? Well you see God cares about the small things as well as the big things that go on in our life. The word says He numbers the hairs on our heads. How interested is that? So many times we wait until we have a crisis to call out and talk( pray) to God. It is good to be able to do this but how much better if we realize He is there for us in the small things too and talk to Him everyday.(Casting our cares on Him for He cares for us!) As the weeks go onward toward the holidays and life ramps up to a frenzied pace...take time to talk to God. He cares that you are strung two ways to Sunday. He cares that the stuff is stacking up and if you will let Him He will walk you from the craziness to the other side, calm and peace. Now on a lighter note.... Saw on a church sign-
