Secret Power

My husband recently decided to clean and organize our storage room in the basement. Honestly, I was initially annoyed because we have so many other parts of the house that could use our attention.....all in places visible to our guests. I kept saying "what's the point? nobody sees this stuff." That was until, he started unearthing treasure: long lost photos, love letters from our college days, trinkets that commemorate different events.....we ended up spending a lot of time reminiscing about wonderful days gone by.........

In the piles of stuff (and embarrassingly boxes we haven't unpacked in the past 2+ years), was a book by Joyce Meyers called The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word.

Just like the title suggests, she outlines the power of daily quoting God's word out loud. Each scripture is categorized by topic: anger, anxiety, courage, faith, hope, prayer, stress, victory, wisdom worship and so on. I literally began using it that day.

Today the scriptures on patience speak loudly to my spirit:

Psalm 37:34 I won't be impatient for the Lord to act! I will keep traveling steadily along His pathway and in due season He will honor me with every blessing.

Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined me and heard my cry.

Galations 6:9 I will not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season I will reap, if I do not loosen and relax my courage and faint.

Colossians 1:11-12 I will be strengthened with all power according to God's glorious might so that I may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully give thanks to the Father, Who has qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

We have just over 2 weeks to send in our first set of fees. I believe God can and will do a miracle for our family. What's money to the God of the Universe?! I keep thinking what characteristic is He refining in me ........ today, the answer is patience.

Once this deadline is behind us, the monetary amounts due will increase and the deadlines will come more quickly. I need to learn my lesson each step of the way and keep my eyes focused on the One who has called me to this path.

Please join us in prayer for a miracle.
