The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 12:1 (NLT)
1 To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 69:16 (NLT)
16 Answer my prayers, O LORD, for your unfailing love is wonderful. Take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Luke 7:47-50 (HCSB)
47 Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that's why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little."
48 Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49 Those who were at the table with Him began to say among themselves, "Who is this man who even forgives sins?"
50 And He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
My observation:
During the past twenty seven days I have experienced an extraordinary walk with the Lord. I have found him to be more than able to meet my every need. This scripture has truly been real in my life.
Psalm 27:1 (KJV)
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Like the psalmist, I have found God's love to be unfailing, and wonderful to experience down deep in the depths of my soul. I have found that God does take care of his children, and that his mercy is overflowing with grace that is greater than my largest needs.
You will never be able to convince me that believing in an invisible God, and praying to him in faith is the activity of a fool. I know that God is real because he hears and answers my prayer. He has given me a peace that that has filled my soul with joy in the most difficult time of my life.
Joshua 24:14-15 (KJV)
14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so thankful that you reward those who are not ashamed to look up to you, and to put their trust in your darling son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and the Lord of my life. Father, I am so grateful that you are a God who hears and answers prayer.
Father God, I am so thankful that because Jesus lives in me that there is never a moment that I ever have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death alone.
Father God, I am so aware, even at this present moment, the overwhelming presence of peace with God, and the peace of God. Father, I will tell the world that Jesus lives, and that I know he lives because he lives in me. The words of Jesus, spoken in the verse below, is still true for us today.
John 14:27 (KJV)
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."
