Good morning! One of the few times that I'm blogging early in the day, and it already is such a fine day! Here in the Texas panhandle, we have been enjoying glorious fall weather---today may bring our first cold snap later in the day. As for me, I love living in an area that truly enjoys four seasons, and fall is probably my favorite. The crispness in the air, the colorful leaves that start falling, pulling out last year's sweaters from the shelf in the closet...yep, I love it!
My Daddy's birthday was in October, and my son was born in October --- two of three very special "Roberts" in my life! So, needless to say, October is one of my favorite months.
Last night we finished up our fall Bible study. What an amazing group of women I get to study with! That room just abounds with love and affection. I don't think you see one woman who doesn't leave smiling! I am going to miss these Tuesday evenings until we come together again in January.
So...now...on to review! Haven't you loved dwelling on this week's promise? It may be a very familiar verse, but it is a powerful promise. Let's go through our list and then finish today by adding one more!

The Gift of Prayer (3)

1 John 5:12-13 The one who has the Son has life. The one who doesn't have the Son of God, does not have life. I say these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know you have eternal life.

Isaiah 53:6 We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished Him for the iniquities of us all.
Praise and Thanksgiving (4)
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Psalm 100:4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
Promises of God (10)
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (ESV)
Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Now our new promise....
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
This is another "if/then" promise..."IF" we walk in the light...."THEN" we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from our sin. We'll talk this week about walking in the light. I want to know what God has to say about that because I certainly want the "THEN" of this promise!
But for now, I'm praising God that He made a plan for cleansing...because I am a sinner in need of a thorough cleaning! Thank You God for making provision for me to come before you not in my dirty rags, but as white as snow!
Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.

My recent walk with Christ has brought such wonderful fellowship. Belonging to the women's Bible group has given me love, understanding and more knowledge. With this knowledge I can walk closer with Christ and receive His Glory. Janice I am so thankful for God bringing you into my life. And, with you He brought others into my life through the Bible group. God has made many promises. His Son has cleansed me from my sins. Now I can feel pure and Can open my heart to Jesus.
