I have got to tell you...I went to the Beth Moore Conference in Laramie this weekend. So fantastic! It was wonderfully deep. No milk fed, steak and potatoes is what we had!
Our text was Psalm 66. It will be difficult to describe the depth at which the Lord touched my heart and the hearts of those in that arena. I am certain that those 2500 ladies (& a few men) were challenged to run a race worthy of our Lord, to FOCUS on what it takes to become the person of God we are meant to be, to stay in our own lane-not try to be like others, to praise the Lord with our whole hearts-loudly, to live lives that are pure and free from addictions and sins, and that we need to follow through with the promises we made to God. (Wow, what a long sentence!) On top of it all I have found a new drive to share my love for the Lord with my girls more clearly and directly. Speaking to them of the things He has done in my life. My focus is to do all I can to help my girls find a passion for the Lord that is their own and comes from a deep place in their hearts! This is all supported with the FACT that God's love is loyal, that He will never leave me nor take His mercies from me! All that God says He is, IS TRUE!!!
"Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
Sing out the honor of His name; make His praise glorious.
Say to God, How awesome are Your works!
Through the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You;
they shall sing praises to Your name.
Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations;
do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
who keeps our soul among the living,
and does not allow our feet to be moved.
For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined.
You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs.
You have cause men to ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
but You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,
which my lips have uttered and my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
with the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats.
Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will declare what He has done for my soul.
I cried to Him with my mouth,
and He was extolled with my tongue.
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear.
But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer,
nor His mercy from me!"
Psalm 66 (New King James Version)
In the name and power of Jesus!
