The Secret

The other week I read this verse in Psalms 25:14

"The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him, and he will shew them his covenant."



I got to thinking the secret, is God telling us that each of us have a secret in our lives about him? Is their something special in each of us a special secret that we share with God? Does this mean each of us have a secret in side of us that only we can share with some one else? I shared this verse with our SS class the other Sunday. I told them did they realize that they have a secret within them and that they need to share it with someone. You know it makes me feel special to think that God has entrusted me with a secret that no one else has and no one else can share the way God wants to use me. Then the big question comes am I willing to do that share my secret. Am I willing to say yes GOD I will share the secret will whom ever, where ever or how ever you ask.

See, that is the hard part sharing. It is hard for me to speak in front of people, it's hard for me to write about things in my life. Last night in youth we had a time of sharing our testimony's, I was one of the ones who volunteered to share, what was I thinking. I was the last to go after all the youth went. To myself I am think that was a total mess nobody got anything out of what I said. I think of myself as Moses I am not a public or private speaker GOD knows. Anyway, I pray that in different way then speaking that God is able to use me to share my secret.


I believe the secret in itself is the same and that is the story of salvation. We each have a different story on how God saved us. The secret is our own personal relationship with God.
That is what he wants us to share that is how we give him the glory that he deserves. So inside of us we each have something to give others that no one else has, are we willing to share the secret.



I pray Father as you put people in my path that I will show them you and your love, through my life. Father you know I am not a speaker so use me in other ways to share your love. Let me serve you and others in ways that show your love. And Father if you choose to use words I pray that I let self step away and it is you they hear not me. Father I just want to be an empty vessel that you fill. I just want to serve you anyway you want to use me. I am thankful that you chose to save me at the young age of 12 years old. I am thankful that you want to use me. Father I can honestly say the most awesome times of my life have been when I was serving you. Thank you God for saving me and using me. I ask that you always help me walk the path you have set before me and that it brings you glory. I love you so much God. I can honestly say I can do nothing without you You MY GOD you are my life. Thank you.

Amen



So I use this verse as my #12 verse in the Siestas memory verses.



Psalm 25:14



"The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him, and he will show them his covenant."

Flying

Anyone that knows me well knows that I love to fly, I would fly every where I when if I could. I have actually only flew a few times, but 2 of those times where very long flights. In 2007 I flew to The Holy Lands and then this year I flew to Africa. I loved it. I love to sit at the window so that I can look out at the land below or into the heavens and just talk with God. I also love to sit at the wind it reminds me of being under God's might wings or just hiding in his wings.

I have had the disappearance of Flight 477 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on my mind all week. Now they think it disintegrated either in air or when it slammed into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving no survivors. I have flown over the Atlantic Ocean 2 times.

I wonder how many of those 227 people were saved and ready to meet God? I wonder how many left families behind to mourn for them? I wonder how many no one left to mourn for them? I wonder what those people thought, or did they even have time to think? How many had a chance to cry out to God to save them in the last second of their life's?Think about it you are flying along in a plane then, bam all of a sudden, you could be flying through the air. Or maybe you when crashing into the ocean. Its a scare thought.

My thoughts have been on the people on the plane. What were they like? What thoughts were running through their minds? What was the last thing that said to the person they love the most? Did they tell them they loved them or did they have harsh words with them? Were their people on that flight that had no one to miss them, or to report them missing? How many people go to bed each night crying because they didn't know if their loved one when to heaven? How many people which they could have that last moment with their loved one over? How many people never want to fly again?

How many of us were effected enough to change our lives? To live it for Christ, telling friends and loved ones about him? Will we make sure that that our family and friends know how much we love them? Or will anyone even care?

I still love to fly. You do know that, that is the way that God is going to let us get around in heaven, right. Our new bodies will be flying from place to place.Please pray for the families that lost loved ones on Flight 477.

"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory: but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."Philippians 2:3

Memory Verse # 11

I have a lot going on the past couple of days and am just not blogging my memory verse. I did remember to post it at LMP on Monday.

I have been trying to learn verses that go along with things going on in my life. I am doing a study on my on in the book of Habakkuk so my verse this time is from it.

"I WILL stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved."
Habakkuk 2:1

That is what I want to do be standing waiting to hear from GOD.
