I'm just beginning the Bible study "Believing God" by Beth Moore. I'm so excited!
I'm already using the things that I've read in the very beginning and you wouldn't believe the way God has already helped me to transform my thoughts and the way I'm handling things. A challenge is presented to not only believe in God, but to believe God. Yes, this may even cause you to appear to be a little radical to some, but who cares? I loved a particluar part in the book that Beth says so many people have told her she was too radical and demonstrative. She replies to them with this: "Beloved, I was once the most bound-up, defeated believer you've ever met, and now I'm a walking miracle experiencing the power of God. With all due respect, how's life going for you?" I LOVE THAT!!
In the next 9 weeks I plan to see a change in my relationship with God. I plan on my thoughts centering on believing Him and all He is and all He says He'll do. I love the pledge in this book that says:
God is who He says He is.
God can do what He says He can do.
I am who God says I am.
I can do all things through Christ.
God's Word is alive and active in me.
Isn't that exciting?!?
I have my blue bracelet on already for my visual reminder. Why a blue bracelet? Well, just read Numbers 15:37-41 and the blue reminder will be made clear. Everytime I'm tempted to allow my faith to be weakend by the lies of Satan, I will look at my bracelet and remember that God is who He says He is. God can do what He says He can do. I am who God says I am. I can do all things through Christ. God's Word is alive and active in me. I'm believing God!
Beth also encourages those participating in this Bible study to keep a journal of all the "little things" God is evident in that we so often overlook while waiting on something big to happen.
I mentioned that I will be doing this for 9 weeks. I desire your prayers as I have chosen to surrender a couple of really big things in my life to put more of my focus on Him....where it belongs.
