Prayer and the Word

Beeda Speis posts to her blog every day, but some days, due to time constraints or writer’s block, all she can share is a prayer and the word. Somedays, it may just be a Bible verse or passage.

It’s her prayer that the Bible verse will be the exact one that a reader needs to read at the exact time the reader needs to read it. God’s sovereignty is over all things, and all things work to bring Him glory.

It’s through prayer and being in the word that we draw closer to God. Taking that time to be still and focus only on Him allows us to build a more intimate relationship with our Father.

The ultimate provision

Even before the world was spoken into existence, God knew the cost of His creation, I believe. I’m sure He knew that providing for our every need and loving us unconditionally wouldn’t be enough to keep us from sinning. Yet, He formed us anyway. When Lucifer deceived Eve, and Eve handed the forbidden fruit to

God gives, Satan takes

As much as God gives to His children, Satan always seems to be lurking in the background to take from us. Satan is the great deceiver. He manipulates us, goes after the things we hold dear. He mostly gets to us by interfering in our relationships. He distracts us from our God-given missions and fills
