Today, schools were out in the Commonwealth of Kentucky due to the snow. After preparing some work and doing some writing and reading, I went to checkout the happenings on Jesus Saves Ministries website (www.jesussavesministries.ning.com). Each day I look forward to the discussions and blogs of Rev. Angela Price, the founder of this ministry. She is such an awesome and inspiring woman of God, and I thank God for putting her in my life. I came across one of her blogs from 2010, "Are You in the Bible?" I thought to myself how come I am just know seeing this blog. Rev. Price posed the question to the members: "can you name three black presence in the Bible?" I certainly was unable to do such and felt so ashamed. Whew, I knew then exactly why the Spirit sent me to this blog. I was only able to name one, which was King Solomon's wife because I know in the Song of Solomon 1:5-6, the woman wrote, "I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept." (KJV)
Rev. Price, through the Holy Spirit, inspired me today to get in God's Word. As I read her note to the ministry's members today, she encouraged, "With schools closed today, and three inches of snow here, I spending extra time today learning about Jesus. Join me." I took up Rev. Price's invitation and joined her. I got in the Word today and oh, what a joy it has been! As believers, we must read, study and mediate morning, noon, and night. In fact, David tells us in his song, Psalm 1 stanzas 2 and 3, "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." (KJV)
Studying God's Word today, I have learned that one, Jesus saves; two, we must mediate day and night in God's Word; three, our delight should be in the law of the Lord; four, that when we do the things that God asks of us (mediate on His Word), whatsoever we do shall prosper! Hallelujah!
I will continue to study and mediate upon the Word of God. That is the only way I can be an effective witness for Christ. I have to know what I read, I have to believe what I read, and I must live what I read.
Be blessed,
Therese from Belize
