Son-Day: 1 Thessalonians 5:8

'Accidently' came upon this verse (LOVE when that happens:)

On the way to church (ALONE) a 1 Thessalonians verse kept being repeated on the radio . 
One about JOY. 
I love the word joy. 
When I went to look it up at home, and mark it, I couldn't find it, but found this treasure. 
God is a.w.e.s.o.m.e.

"But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet the hope of salvation."  1 Thessalonians 5:8

(probably gonna purchase this game)

Son-Day: Put It On

¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
¹³ Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
¹⁴ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
¹⁵ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
¹⁶ Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
¹⁸ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;  Ephesians 6:11-18

Son-Day: Behold...Alma 44:9

Every have a scripture that just sticks with you?
That everything you cry to the Lord, He sends you to one spot in your scriptures?
Alma 44:9 is mine.
I will admit, I got (somewhat) fustrated at this verse.  I have broke it down and broke it down.   I even said "I GET IT!!" more than once.  I know this chapter is mine.  For me.  But its a bloody battle chapter and somewhat...whats the word...icky? 

However, I realized I was 'poo-pooing' revelation.  I was saying to God, I don't NEED anymore info in that area.  Shame.  Thank goodness for repentance, a chance to re-align and go again.

I know God has put 'magic' in His word, and His most awesome Holy Ghost has MUCH to give me, in this chapter.  In this verse.   In just one word.  I also know when I'm needing, this is my starting place.  (took me YEARS to figure that one out:)

The whole verse says:
9 Behold, we are ^anot of your faith; we do not believe that it is God that has delivered us into your hands; but we believe that it is your cunning that has preserved you from our swords. Behold, it is your ^bbreastplates and your shields that have preserved you.  Alma 44:9

But, for now, I am focusing on this part.

"...Behold, it is your breastplates and your shields that have preserved you."  Alma 44:9

The righteous KNOW what preserves them.

Son-Day: "Step Of Faith"

Step Of Faith
Carmen

Above the noise I hear the voice
Of God givin' the choice for me to say
I do believe and will receive
Within the heart of me the seed of faith
He does accept a baby step
As long as I have kept His word inside
But Jesus knows that I must grow
And tells me I must go ahead and try
Well all right, okay, I guess it's up, up and away

Chorus 1
I'm takin' a step, takin' a step of faith
Walkin' out on the promises God made
Takin' a giant leap in the air
Steppin' out on nothin' and findin' somethin' there
Tellin' the doubt to wait, wait, wait, wait
I'm takin' a step of faith

It turns me out to think I'd doubt
Someone with so much clout from up above
And yet I see the way that He
Can work with me and do it all in love
The past is gone, the future's long
And I need someone strong to help me through
I'm ready now to take the vow
And see just what the power of God can do
Well all right, okay, I guess it's up, up and away

Chorus 1

Bridge
Take that step now
Keep goin', the left, the right, heel, toe, heel toe
Well all right, okay, I guess I'll ride this horse away

Chorus 2
I'm takin' a step, takin' a step of faith
Walkin' out on the promises God made
Takin' a giant leap in the air
Steppin' out on nothin' and findin' somethin' there
Tellin' the doubt to wait
I'm takin' a step of faith
Step of faith, step of faith
Living for the Lord, trusting in His care
Steppin' out on nothin' and findin' somethin' there

Walking with the Lord, stepping in the light
Living by faith and not by sight...

Son-Day: O My Father

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3579kluAHhU" width="420"></iframe>

O My Father

Eliza R. Snow

O my Father, thou that dwellest
In the high and glorious place,
When shall I regain thy presence
And again behold thy face?
In thy holy habitation,
Did my spirit once reside?
In my first primeval childhood
Was I nurtured near thy side?

For a wise and glorious purpose
Thou hast placed me here on earth
And withheld the recollection
Of my former friends and birth;
Yet ofttimes a secret something
Whispered, "You're a stranger here,"
And I felt that I had wandered
From a more exalted sphere.

I had learned to call thee Father,
Thru thy Spirit from on high,
But, until the key of knowledge
Was restored, I knew not why.
In the heav'ns are parents single?
No, the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I've a mother there.

When I leave this frail existence,
When I lay this mortal by,
Father, Mother, may I meet you
In your royal courts on high?
Then, at length, when I've completed
All you sent me forth to do,
With your mutual approbation
Let me come and dwell with you.




~God Bless~
