I am so thankful for The Word of God. I have never really been a studier of the Bible before but thanks to the devotional Jesus Calling, the website shereadstruth.com and a Beth Moore Bible study I have been spending one nap time each day in the Word. I am absolutely loving my time and I can tell my heart is being worked on by my all-knowing, wise Father. He is so wise ya'll. He amazes me each day in how the three separate things I am doing seem to fit together time after time after time. His promises are amazing and I am just astonished that he loves me that much, knows me that well, has everything all planned out, and provides for me. I am thankful that he is continually speaking words of Life, Peace, and Love into my heart each day.
I am also thankful for music. My heart has been so comforted by good Christian music. There are so many songs that seem to be written just for me and I hear them at the exact right time. So many of them quote parts of the Bible and I find myself singing those parts over and over again. I am thankful that these promises drown out the silence that could be scary if I let it.
I am thankful that both of these help me fight the battle that wages in my head each day. The enemy knows that fear is a weak spot for me. He takes every opportunity to attack my mind. I am so thankful that I am working on letting God control my thoughts because Romans 8:6 says ...but the mind controlled by the spirit is life and peace.
