Bible in 90 days-Day 2 SOAP

Hello!  I am thankful for day 2, thankful for God's grace and help in this and His refreshing my heart and soul while I read His Word.  Soaking in it

While reading today several things were sticking out to me.  The first being how Abraham and Lot heard the Lord's voice or angels voice, they immediately bowed to the ground.  That to me really showed reverential fear of the Lord and humble spirits.  Sensitive to Him.  I also noticed several times Abraham had people over and he mentioned washing their feet or getting them water to wash their feet.  Humble, gentle, kind.  Servants heart.  These things spoke to my heart.

Scripture:

Genesis 17:3
"At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him,"

Observation:

When the Lord spoke to Abraham he fell face down on the ground. This helps me to see the reverential fear he had for the Lord and his humble heart.

Application:

When I hear the Lord and His still small voice speaking to me I far too often walk past it. I don't listen. That has stolen my joy and kept me guessing what the Lord told me. I wander.

Prayer:

Lord I am thirsty for your Word and for you alone. I ask forgiveness for not listening so often and running past you. Give me courage to be still, listen and bow at your feet daily so that I don't miss anything you want me to hear or see and that I walk closer to you. Help me be strong and desire to be vulnerable each day learning to be authentic. Guide each person reading this and help them to hear what you have for their hearts. In Jesus Name, amen

Bible in 90 Days...refresh me!

I had a weekend away with my kids and family to visit my sister and went to the mountains for the first time in my adult life (I'm from the beach).  It was a neat experience.  I am back now and refreshed ready to enjoy the rest of the summer.  While I was gone I signed up for reading the Bible in 90 Days here.  I am very excited and nervous.  My "one word" for 2011 was REFRESH.  I did not want to be joining all kinds of Bible studies and activities but wanted to refresh my relationship with the Lord.  I feel I was led to start it, and hope I heard right and will be blessed and taught by this journey.  What better way to be refreshed in Him than to read His Word daily, and really soak it in.

He is teaching me something and I am looking forward to what all He wants me to learn.  Today was day 1.  It will go through, I believe, October 8th.  I will, and am writing it here for a reminder, not going to join into any Bible studies (although I know I will be very tempted to because I am a social girl and love joining them and fellowshipping and all that great stuff that goes along with Bible studies).  I will only be spending time in God's Word with my journal and a pen and also joining for the first time, MOPS.  Much looking forward to that, and it is nothing in depth but time for moms and I am excited for that.

So thats what is going on with me right now.  God is doing a new thing.  I will write more later...

Love to you!
