Reflection of Yesterday and scripture.

Saw my neighbor this morning. When she was down yesterday she was so blessed by God and God did not want her to be down. Not only did we do lunch, an unexpected visit from a friend happened and then her son out of the blue invited her to dinner. She said she took a 2 hour nap yesterday. OM! She was still on a high with delight. What a blessing she was to me.

Something happened to me recently a verse popped in my head and now I have each day recited it and now I am at a point of reading the chapter in the bible before and after. Next I will be doing a word study on some frequent usage of words that stood out to me. This is how it works for me and God.
Scripture for a beloved friend that was dying of cancer came to me after they went home to be with the Lord. I believe that was in Psalm 13. I will look that up later and confirm. Psalm 63 became almost a whole summer once and then a teaching for a women's bible study called Loving God.
The women at the well in John 4 was buzzing in my head summers ago and I just got up every day and the Lord said to me "read it again." That went on for 1 month. I went to Canada during that time and the word became even richer to me. That's what nature does. It quiets your soul, so you can hear from God. The women at the well taught me the power of Jesus connection with women. How he took a frail, scared, hurting women and made her so comfortable that it allowed her to bare her soul be forgiven and then be available to tell others. A great story of redemption.
I guess I am sharing now what profound pieces of scripture God wanted me to learn. The Lord's Prayer was another summer. How beautiful to pray that prayer in the first person. Like:
My Father who is in heaven hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give me today my daily bread. Forgive me my debts as I also have forgiven my debtors. (I make a list of those in my prayer) And lead me not into temptation, but deliver me and my family from the evil one.
Taking the word seriously and personally.
