Alida, I love the approach of “one day at a time”. He wants us to be concerned about THIS day that we are in, and speak out in it. Luke 19:40 is such a great visual for me. May the Lord never have to resort to hearing stones praise him as long as we have lips to do so!
What a great new habit to develop. I pray the Lord’s strength and courage to keep you on this path. Many blessings on your ministry, sister.
So glad you visited my blog!! Yes, you hit the nail on the head with this post!1 I want JOY to come out of my mouth: to my kids, to my husband,to myself. Truly, the mouth speaks that which fills the heart!
I love that verse....I love seeing the beauty in stones, from the river bed to diamonds and we are living stones...and go through much of the process of shaping that stones go through. I love to remember that it takes a diamond to cut a diamond and so when we are cut by another it is part of the process of shaping or creating a facet to show forth light. All stones have beauty....and that very beauty cries out from the rocks to the pebbles.
Great verse and photo! Hope you have a happy Word-filled Wednesday!

This is my favorite verse. I love the mental imagery of the Power of God that I get from it.
