Here we go - unedited and unscripted (Scary stuff!):- God's word opens eyes
- God's word opens ears
- God's word opens prison doors
- His hands open in provision (Ps 104 v 28)
- He opens up the windows of heaven with blessing (Mal 3 v 10)
One day soon, the heavens will open and our Lord and Saviour will return on His white horse (Rev 19 v 11)
My encouragement to you - keep your eyes, ears, heart and mind open to the Lord - He will be found! His word says He will never leave you nor forsake you.
God bless
Tracy

Happy New Year, Tracy! I like your new look. I have always been drawn to earth tones!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. It reminds me of a sermon I heard once talking about living open-handed before God. When we live our life open before Him, he can take that which is not in our best interest or not of Him, and replace it with that which is. But...it is up to us to choose to open our life to Him.
Praying God opens wide the windows of Heaven and blesses you above and beyond what you can think or imagine as you continue to see Him and make Him known to others through your faithful writing here.

It's wonderful to meet you! Thank you for visiting my site. I'm encouraged by all the writers who are open to the New Year's possibilities and opportunities. I'll draw strength from you as I am a tad nervous about '12! Perhaps once I begin my year-long Bible reading, my heart will open and become more faithful and obedient to His plan. I enjoyed your positive post!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful reminder that God's hands are always open and His ears are Open to hear our cry!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words of comfort on my recent post!
Such wise words - may we all be open to God and what He has for us in the new year. God bless!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy - to you too. I also prefer earthy tones and its taken me ages to find something i feel I can stick with, for at least a while :) Many blessings to you for the new year as well. So looking forward to your 2012 posts
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie - so glad you came back over to visit. Praying right now for you for godly confidence as you walk forward into 2012
Hi Joyful noise - praying for your hubby. thanks for popping over. always love hearing from you
Hi Deidra - amen, I hope that my emotions don't deafen me to God's leading. Praying your year ahead is full of freedom in Christ
God bless all. So excited about 2012 and you guys are part of the reason for that.
