Blessed be the LORD! Hallelujah!
It's Wednesday morning here which is my online Bible study with you my friends.
I thank God for you all and the fellowship we have with one another. I see I have lots of posts to read!
I have learned though that if I get to reading and talking too much I won't do what the LORD has laid on my heart to do, and that is to share something of worth from the Word with you.
Today I am going to talk to you from my what I am experiencing in my own life and what the Word is speaking to me. There has been turmoil of sorts in my home, that is when my husband is around. This 3 day weekend was not a good one for him, and the turmoil is in him. Add to that how unhappy he is on his job, on every job I've ever known him to have come to think of it, the stress he deals with, poor eating habits, and smoking, all causing a physiological effect in his body making life even harder to deal with, makes for one unhappy camper! All this is said not to pick on him, but to give you a background of what is happening. My heart goes out to him. To see him so unhappy while knowing the joy and peace that awaits him, the victory that is his that he could be walking in makes my heart yearn for him. I've long ago learned how to not let his degrading remarks to me enter into my heart, how to sidestep his anger, and leave the room when he rages. I've learned how to be patient and hold my tongue. When I see him, mainly it is a "putting up with", and a view from heaven as to the longing in the LORD's heart as He sees him suffering when He has already won the victory. If only he would pull up a chair and sit at the table He has prepared for him in the presence of his enemies! Instead he starts his day in frustration and spews out complaints and murmurings. That's why I am in the routine of taking my morning walk early before the heat of the day, getting my exercise, and most importantly, quiet prayer time. And hubby resents that. Of course I don't tell him I go out partly because of him. I do not want to hurt him. My main reason if to seek the LORD, intercede for others, and exercise before it gets unbearably hot.
Enough said. I really am not here to put him down, but what I am about to say may not make sense if I didn't give you the backdrop.
On the other hand, I live my life with joy so much so that I am frequently asked why I am so happy. In fact, someone told me last night that I am the happiest person they have ever met. Surely he was exaggerating, I thought. So I asked him, "EVER met?" He said, "Yes." Glory to God! This is all the LORD. This is all because living His way works. And I love when people ask me this because it is a wide open door to share with them and tell them the reason for my joy. I so want them to have it too. And of course I want my husband to have it.
So here I am reading my Bible this morning. Don't you know the Word takes to you?
Yes, every morning I hear the voice of the LORD through His Word and by His Spirit. I couldn't live without it! He is my very life. So here is the Word I am to share. Yes, it's where I am at and speaks to me, but I guess there is someone else it is to bless here, for this is what He has lead me to share today.
Nice to see ya!
WE PRAISE YOU JESUS! 
I have growing to do.
