Dear Friends and Family,
Something that I am thinking about today has to do with our spiritual growth as soldiers for the Lord. As a soldier in the physical world, you are expecting to exercise physically, mentally and emotionally to face the battlefield.
The same goes for the spiritual world. We need to be prepared for battle. One of those ways is to memorize scripture. I find it so thrilling that when you need a scripture, that the Lord will bring it to your mind!
As a parent, you aren't always sure how much your kids are listening. In fact, with my boys, I
really wonder! They have minds that are constantly on the move and don't seem to settle on any topic unless it is one they are interested in.
Our six year old loves Jesus as much as his little heart can understand. He loves to memorize scripture and will often quote it to us. Recently while taking Tony to school, I quoted the 23rd Psalm to the boys. They were impressed because so far, they have both only learned a verse at a time. I let them know that they can learn it and I was probably pretty young when I learned it. Noah told me that he wanted to learn the 23rd Psalm that day and we have been working on it.
Early this morning, I was up working at the computer in the trailer when I heard his little voice talking in his sleep. I stopped to listen to what he was saying and realized he was quoting Psalm 23 in his sleep! In. His. Sleep!
It was the sweetest thing to hear!
Lately, I have been going through some things that literally have had me at my Father's feet begging for help to understand. Things I never thought I would have to go through.
The verse that we are learning right now is:
"No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11
This verse has been helping me. I know that the Lord will not withhold anything that is good from me if I make sure to follow Him and His example for me.
Is the Lord
your shepherd?
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Praying your week is blessed,
Heidi
