Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
Hebrews 11:6 says "And without faith it is impossible to please Him for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him."
This is what a believers faith should be like. We have never seen God yet we believe that there is one. Yet some days I have to admit I have wondered if God is real and what if we are wrong. But I know that is Satan trying to mess with my mind and trying to make me doubt my salvation. Trusting in an invisible God may sound crazy to some but I know He is real because of what I've seen Him do in my life and in others as well. His hand of protection has been with me throughout my life. Why should I doubt? That is foolish. My God is an awesome God and He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Him as stated in John 14:6. Do you need any other passage of Scripture to make this any clearer? I certainly don't. Take that Satan! No one not even you can snatch me from God's hand.

God Is In Control- Jeremiah 10:23
Jeremiah 10:23 says "I know O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps."
Oh that we as believers would listen to God's Word more often. I struggle with this. Learning to trust God more that He will direct my steps. God is sovereign. He is in control. I am not the driver of the car. He is. I am only a passenger who feels like she has no clue where the two of us are going/heading to. I hate that feeling of not knowing. Some days I just feel utterly lost. I'm sure you have felt that way before too. Just have to lean on Christ and rely on Him that He knows the way/the road when we don't. We need to have peace in our hearts about that.

Humility- John 8:54
John 8:54 says- Jesus answered "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me of whom you say He is our God."
As I was reading my Bible today this verse in John stood out to me. This verse shows Christ being humble. He says He will not glorify himself rather that His Father will glorify him. Not only does it show him being humble but it is an example for us to follow. We should not look for praise from others. But rather we should be giving all the praise and glory to God thanking Him for everything.
Learning to be humble will be hard if we try to do it in our strength. In fact we can't do it in our own strength. We can't do anything without Christ. We by nature are very proud people. We think in our mind we are right in whatever we say. Our opinion can be the only right opinion. Everyone who thinks otherwise is always wrong. We in turn are the ones who are wrong. There are a few exceptions when it comes to this that being Christ is the only way to heaven and other moral issues. In those cases we are right because we have the Word of God to back us up and Word of God is the truth. I think what I struggle with most is trying to remain humble even though I know I am right. But my pride and knowing I'm right wants to snap back and prove to the other person how I am in fact right event though they in turn insist that they are.
My question is for my friends who are Christians as well would be what would you do in that type of situation? How would you confront someone who is a sister or brother in the faith who says something is okay to do even when they know it's the wrong thing to do and they know they are wrong but when you try to talk to them about it gets angered easily?
My prayer for us all today is that we would learn how to become more humble like Christ and ask God to remove the pride in our life that so easily entangles us to the sin of anger.

Project 366
Hi Friends,
I know it has been a while since I wrote on this blog. My friend Amber challenged me to do a 366 day project. So I have decided that I will do a daily post on this blog. It will be related to whatever I read in the Bible for that day and/or what I learned and gleaned from that passage(s). This will be a way for me to hold myself accountable for reading the Bible every day like I wanted to since the beginning of this year. I hope it is an encouragement to you. I look forward to sharing with you what I learn. If at any time you think I have taken a verse out of context or something like that or if you have anything to add or want to answer a question I posted please let me know in the comments section. I have only been a Christian for 11 years so I have a lot to learn still and room to grow in my faith like you all. :-) I hope you will join me in my journey through the Bible.
Blessings,
Michelle

All He Had (Would He Be Enough?)
There once was a man
Who had nothing
Nothing in the World's Eyes
Of any wealth or value
He was in their eyes
A VERY poor man
But...
The World was wrong
What?!?! How could that be??
With no money
No prosperity
No.
Not all the extravagant things
That money could buy
Could compare to what he had
What is this you ask?
What could be better than money and things?
Faith was the key.
The key to eternal life
Life for all eternity
With the one and only true King
Yes Faith
Faith in the One
The Only One who could save him
Save him from what?
What did he/we need to be saved from?
From the fiery clenches of Hell
An eternity of weeping and gnashing of teeth
Dear God, I am AFRAID!!
I Do Not Want To Go There!!
Repent the Lord has told you!
Repent of your evil ways!
Repent and Have Faith and Believe!
Till your old and dieing days!
For you have sinned!
Lieing, Stealing, Adultery, Blasphemy
The list goes on and on....
Oh God Forgive Me!
I am SOOO VERY sorry!!
Remove my transgressions
Give me everlasting life!
I am unworthy of your love and grace
Thank you for paying that costly price
A life that was sinless given for a wretched sinner like me
And because of that ultimate price
I AM FREE!!!! I AM FREE!!!
So utterly in love with thee
My Savior Who Died For Me!!!!
So...
Give me all the trials and tribulations that may come.
But I will press on
I will remain steadfast
My faith will remain strong
Or let me be weak and poor
like the poor man I mentioned before
like in Luke chapter 16
For like him my hope is in the Lord!
No matter whatever comes my way.
My hope and peace shall be in the Lord
For I know that I am saved.
And in Him and Him alone my faith will always stay
Even if they take everything away
I will not compromise
I will not sway
For the poor man is my example
And all he ever had was faith
In the One who came to save
And that was enough...
If that was enough for Him
It should be also enough for me.
What about you?
Where would you be?
What would your faith look like?
If you had only faith
Faith in the Lord, Savior and King.
Would He be enough?
He is enough for me...

He who despises his neighbor lacks sense (v.12)
- Despise means belittle or shows contempt for
A man of understanding keeps silent (v.12)
He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets (v.13)
-Talebearer is a malicious slanderer, not merely one who is indiscreet
. Proverbs 16:28 says "A perverse man spreads strife, And a slanderer separates intimate friends"
. Proverbs 20:19 says "He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets, Therefore do not associate with a gossip."
He who is trustworthy conceals a matter (v.13)
Where there is no guidance the people fall (v.14)

- Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
. Evil in Proverbs 11:19= Sin in Romans 6:23
-James 1:15 says "Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death."

Generous man will be prosperous (v.25)
He who waters will himself be watered (v.25)
- I think this part of the verse could have to do with spiritual growth and helping each other as brothers and sisters in Christ grow in the faith. When we help someone grow than in the process of that we will be helped as well.
But blessing will be at the head of him who sells it(grain) (v.26)
-This reminds me of Joseph in Genesis 42. It's kind of interesting that it reminded me of it and when I looked at the references it mentioned that same exact chapter in the list. Joseph did not withhold grain from his brothers but sold it to them and the Lord blessed Him for it.
He who diligently seeks good, seeks favor (v.27)
He who seeks evil, evil will come to him (v.27)

The righteous will flourish like a green leaf (v.28)
-I love the description of the righteous in this verse
.Psalm 1:1-3 says "How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. 3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers."
.Jeremiah 17:7-8 says "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD.
8"For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit."
He who troubles his own house will inherit wind (v.29)
The fruit of righteousness is a tree of life (v.30)
He who is wise wins souls (v.30)
Matthew 18:15 says "If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother."
.Not sure if this is what Proverbs is referring to or not but that is the only reference I could find in my Bible for it.
Last but not least I'm not sure as to what verse 31 means. Proverbs 11:31 says "If the righteous will be rewarded in the earth, How much more the wicked and the sinner!"
If anyone can tell me what they think that verse means that would be wonderful.
That is what I learned from Proverbs 11.
Pride leads to dishonor (v.2)
Humble leads to wisdom (v.2)

Why? Oh Why? and Doubts
Why? Oh Why?
I lament
I cry
Woe is me
Why God? Why me?
I cry out in self pity
Why? Oh Why?
My thoughts and his lying words deceived me
Trials come my way
Still I try to understand
Why did the Lord make it happen this way?
Why a time and trials so rough?
So He can show me how I am weak
And need to have faith
And on Him I need to lean
For everything
And in Him alone put my trust
by Michelle Miano
Doubts?
When all these doubts plague me
And my worries overwhelm me
I cry out "Why me?"
Who can give me the strength I need?
Only Jesus, our Lord, our Savior, our mighty King
Who alone reigns with power and majesty.
Can give us the strength that we need.
by Michelle Miano
I decided to put these two poems up together in one post because they were similar and shorter than most of my other poems. I wrote these a couple months ago but didn't feel comfortable putting these up until today.. I'm not sure why today is different than any other day but maybe someone else is going through what I've been feeling and just needs to read/see/hear these poems to know that they are not alone in feeling this way. I hope it helps lift someones spirits.
Much love to my dear sisters and brothers in Christ.

Doubts?
When all these doubts plague me
And my worries overwhelm me
I cry out "Why me?"
Who can give me the strength I need?
Only Jesus, our Lord, our Savior, our mighty King
Who alone reigns with power and majesty.
Can give us the strength that we need.

I decided to put these two poems up together in one post because they were similar and shorter than most of my other poems. I wrote these a couple months ago but didn't feel comfortable putting these up until today.. I'm not sure why today is different than any other day but maybe someone else is going through what I've been feeling and just needs to read/see/hear these poems to know that they are not alone in feeling this way. I hope it helps lift someones spirits.
Much love to my dear sisters and brothers in Christ.
