Eat the Scriptures By Brenda Drake

As the world hurls more and more hard, unpalatable things for us to consume, the more confused, sick and depressed we become.  Our life it seems is turned upside down and backwards; conflicting with all we have known and trusted as truth. Indeed we are discovering some things we thought were true are not.  There is one measure of truth that is true and right; the Word of God that many refer to both as Jesus and the bible.  Jesus is Truth, Life and The Way.  Jesus is the Word of God that spoke life from the cross to show the way to all who would hear. There is strength in the Word when it is ingested. In it we find sure knowledge of the sad condition of our sinful soul. It tells of the love of the Father who provided through the sacrifice of His Son our redemption, and it spells out the unimaginable love of Jesus that willingly took our sins on His back to bring us to restore our fellowship with a Holy God.  The sweet Holy Spirit makes the Word clear as He teaches, guides, and leads us to our eternal home to forever dwell in one accord with Father, Son and Spirit.

Eat the Scripture

To dine on My Word, is as I wish for you to do
Eat all the Scriptures you can put inside of you
Drink of the waters that quench the thirst you have inside
Never quench the Spirit by not eating right
As the body needs fuel to make it run
The spirit man needs the food that is prepared for him.
He cannot function properly if he does not eat.
He will be defeated and will become weak.
Some children are under-nourished because of lack of trust.
If they would just read the Word they can be and do as they must.
You have not, if you seek not, if you seek you shall find.
All needed armor in every battle of every kind.
You have the choice to be strong or weak.
The more wisdom consumed, the mightier your strength.

1 Peter 2:2
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Peter 3:18
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Drop Into My Heart By Brenda Drake

It took a while for me to realize I am unable to do anything of value without the Lord’s help.  I count on His help in everything for now I know my limitations;   I am weak, selfish, and not all that smart; but I also recognize He is shown strong in my weakness. 

Drop into my Heart

Drop into my heart all the wisdom I need for this day.
Give me ability to reach and for another pray.
Live loud in me as I proclaim,
The power and majesty of Jesus’ name.
Let it be your light that shines;
To assure and help another as they seek to the treasure find.
Speak loud through me your life-giving word,
So it is truly a message from heaven heard.
Steady my step, pave ahead my path,
Give me authority to conquer every foe where I am at.
As I draw near this day for my daily supply,
Fill me up with your goodness on high.
With your love, your kindness, your understanding deep,
Your joy, your strength and abiding peace.
Every morsel that you share with this vessel of clay,
I will attempt to give away.
As you drop wisdom in my heart I am able to flow,
Successfully with you from soul to soul.
This request is huge and I almost wonder at my plea.
But this I know, it is your passion that I seek.
It is your love, your touch, and words I crave,
So I will just believe I receive the requests I have made.

Psalms 28:7
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him.
