  • Short Study of God's Word

    After praying and asking for wisdom, I have decided to not attend church anywhere on a Sunday, the few days after chemo.  My immune system is compromised greatly and I am at peace with the wisdom of choosing to protect my fleshly body's health and receive spiritual health from the Holy Spirit that dwells within me.

    Everything highlighted in red is only meant to be the words spoken to *my* spirit this morning during my devotion time. 

    Our (Jesse's & mine) faithfulness in the past and our promises from God that *I* can trust and rely on while I fight the enemy within my body and bones, are represented below in these verses.

    Please pray with me:.

    Proverbs 3
    1)  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
    2)  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
    3)  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck; write them upon the tablet of thine heart:
    4)  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
    5)  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
    6)  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
    7)  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
    8)  It shall be health to thy navel, and *marrow to thy bones.* (my emphasis)
    9)  Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase:
    10) So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

    Malachi 3
    10) Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
    11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,

    Thank you, Lord, for your law of sowing and reaping.  Jesse and I have sown into the lives of many and have been faithful tithers and givers of our income and increase.  I believe your Word that "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Gal 6 :7) and I thank you for every one of my family's provisions and needs being met by YOU.   You know the future and what we will need, and you have already planned our way and the path of those who will come into our lives at the very moment they are needed.  Thank you for your loving mercy that endures forever.

    In the name of Jesus, Amen.

  • Wonderful promises! It's such a blessing on my life to see your trust in God.

  • I like to hear you taking care of yourself.  Slow and steady is the course...  I'm sure we will all be happy to pray with you and be your prayer partners!  Take care ~

  • Wonderful idea to read the red parts!  Claim them for yourself, Cherylyn!  I'm still praying for you.  A lady at our last church had done exactly what you are going to have done.  She is a good 15 years older than you, and did very well.  She is now perfectly healthy.  Take care.  Stay home to protect your immune system.  Good girl!
