Lady of Light
In 2 Chronicles 7:14, the bible says,
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
It is wonderful, that God has promised to heal our land - under certain conditions though. We need, not only to humble ourselves, seek his face and turn from OUR wicked ways, we need to pray especially for all of those in authority in Government.
God has richly blessed us in the United States, and we need to continue to pay attention to what we need to do and can do about the corruption, political situations
and ask God to give wisdom to those in authority because in Romans 13, it does tell us that "all authorities are ordained of God."
Sometimes I get a little too busy in my day, and do not pray as often or as earnestly as I could regarding this. When I went to church Sunday, this verse was in my church bulletin - a call to memory and a reminder to be more diligent.
May you and our country continue to be blessed and healed as we continue to obey
God's words in Chronicles.
God Bless You and have a great day!

Believe the Truth
Lady of Light
In 1 John 4:1, we are given a warning. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." Even back in bible times, it was known that much false information and teaching would circulate.
Especially today, when there is so much in communication, how do you know who to believe? 1 John 4:2 tells us "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God."
Furthermore, in 1 John 4:3, it goes on to say "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come: and even now already is in the world." I never gave this much thought until the other day when I misdialed a phone number and got an "Atheist hotline" by mistake!
I like the next verse which is a great encouragement: 1 John 4:4 "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." This is a good verse to remember when you are barraged by alot of untruth and untruthful people in the world. God says we as his children have overcome evil and untruth.
So, keep your eyes and ears open and "try the spirits" as you go about in your day, reading, watching TV, on the internet and with people. God wants us to be
sensitive to truth only.
Have a great day!

Poetry/Prose LIFE
Lady of Light
In 1 John 3, It tells us "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God."
God's love is such a great miracle. I wrote a poem that I would like to share with you.
Life
Life is what it has been and what it has become.
Experiences, a touch of love from God and
A combination of the choices we make.
And the prayers we pray,
Each and every day.
Life, a great gift from God above,
Continuous chances to heal and to give and receive love.
Lady of Light
Have a blessed day!

Poem/Prose "LIFE"
Lady of Light
When I think about God's love, it inspires me. In 1 John 3:1 the bible says,
"Behold What Manner of Love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God". This is also a hymn.

Guidance from God
Lady of Light
I love lighthouses and have started a collection. Friends and family have sent me calendars with photos of lighthouses. On one of my calendars, I discovered the following verse:
"Guide me in your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long." Psalm 25:5
God is with us everywhere, at every moment as we walk with Him - guiding us with His wisdom. I especially like the way the Psalmist, David, asks God to guide and teach and he acknowledges God as his Savior and knows where his hope is. There is so much stimuli out there in the world, and with modern technology and computers, we receive a barrage of information. With the truth of God and his word, there are always new things to learn from Him and keeping our hope in Him is just a great focus!
I often try to slow myself down and as David did to say "Be still and know that I am God". It is a true blessing to be in God's presence and to know that His hand is
upon us.
I hope that you receive a blessing today from Psalm 25.5.
God bless you,

Your Time
Lady of Light
Do you wonder about your time? How you spend it? What it means?
In Ephesians 5:15 and 16 it says:
"My time is in thy hand. Deliver me from the hands of mine enemies and those who persecute me."
Like the passage says, our time is in God's hands. The fact that the writer speaks also about deliverance from enemies and those who persecute, it seems that it is somehow related to our time. I guess, if you have to spend alot of time worrying about your enemies and those who persecute you, you don't have the quality of time and energy to expend on other things but if God takes care of all this, it certainly means life will be better. I take this to mean if you need protection, to pray for it. If you are affected by negativity from others, release this to God and place
"your time in His hands."
Have a blessed day.

God First
Lady of Light
In The book of Daniel, Chapter 6:13, we find that all of the government plotted against Daniel to have the king sing a decree that noone should pray to God but only to the king. The men couldn't wait to report to the King that Daniel prayed in his house three times a day and not to the King. Daniel put God first no matter what and didn't succumb even to the decree. As the account continues, we know that because of this, Daniel was cast into the lion's den but miraculously protected by an angel.
If God can do this great miracle, how much more can he do for us when we put him first?
Sometimes people try to influence us negatively - to gossip, for example or to think in ways that aren't pleasing to God. If we continue to disregard these temptations and put God first, blessings will come.
Wishing God's best for you today!
