Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Study His Holy Word.

This blog site has been active for quite some time now, but truly was not successful the first time around. Therefore, I am trying it again, with a special group of people that are involved in the "40 Days of Prayer" Series at my church. I am recommending that the individuals in my group use this blog site to reflect upon our daily exercises, have discussions regarding each day's lesson and just share any thoughts or feelings you may have. I think this will be a wonderful way to share our information and who knows......maybe we will get some "outsiders" to join in as well. Anyway, I will post on here EVERY day what my thoughts and feelings are about the exercise, so feel free to comment all you want. I hope we find this to be a very valuable tool.

"And all God's people say.....AMEN!"

Week 4: Day 3

I read the entire 4th chapter in order to truly understand what the scripture was stating. Recently I have had "friends", co-workers, and family-members comment on how I have changed. They have questioned my priorities, stating that my church life comes first now and that everything else is behind my church obligations. The fact is.....it's NOT my "church" obligations that have changed me. It is my relationship with the Lord that comes 1st and everything else comes in line behind that relationship. I had a conversation just last week with someone at work and when they were speaking of how church came before my job all I could do was smile! When they questioned my smile, my only response was that I was happy that someone noticed!

I have wished that I could answer others' questions about my faith with scripture references and a lot more intellectual facts, so I was glad to read that it is the "power" of the Lord that will truly convince others that I am a child of God.

It is my prayer that God shine through me as if I am a sheet of glass that can reflect the colors of my faith to everyone that can see!

Please comment on your experiences with your "Power", I'm anxious to hear what has happened for all of you!

    Lori,
    I know after working in the same job for 12 years that God shows in you in ways that you are not aware of. My past co-workers have shared that they were aware of my faith and motivations even in circumstances I felt I was not witnessing. God MUST play a part in that interaction for it to be effective. Only God knows when you are ready to do His will and work AND when the receiving individual is ready to hear and embrace His word. It is a perfect and I daresay povidencial moment when done through the spirit. As a sidenote, you should know that God shines in you and there is not much you can do to hide it. I see him in you and so does everyone who comes in contact with you. God bless you my sister in Christ.
