Around here it has been quite a week, but I finally got my to-do list done and we have ball games tonight, so this will have to be short and sweet but I didn't want to skip it!
This is a very familiar verse, but it came up in a book I was reading the other day and they had it in The Message. Wow! A little background...in Beth Moore's study Believing God, she had us memorize a 5-statment pledge of faith that for me was very profound. It is:
God is who He says He is.Beth pointed out in that study that many times we struggle in these areas, and the enemy attacks these areas often. Over the years, I have found that to be true. When I have defeat in my life, it is usually because of unbelief. And the area that typically gets me is believing who God says I am. So with all that, here is my verse for the next two weeks...
God can do what He says He can do.
I am who God says I am.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
God's Word is alive and active in me.
I'm believing God!
Philippians 4:13I had a converstation with another mom about how we struggle to be a "good mom." She said that one day God said to her, "You are a good mom. Just be who I made you to be." That is truth! I just need to believe it!
Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
The other day I was making SweetTate his usual for lunch--a hotdog wrapped in a flour tortilla. Here is the conversation we had.
Me--You are going to turn into a hotdog.Oh, that I would learn that lesson and when I start to feed myself lies that they say stop and ask "Did God say that?" He is the One who makes me who I am.
SweetTate--No, I'm not.
Me--You know what they say, "You are what you eat." So you are going to be a hotdog.
SweetTate--People don't turn into hotdogs!
Me--That is what they say!
SweetTate--Did God say that?
Me--No, Baby, God did not say that. I'm just teasing you.
