The Power of the WORD

My grandparents, Edward H. and Jessie May Garlock relied heavily upon God's Word.  It was their daily strength as they read, claimed the promises in, and lived it.  It was their life!!!!

I previously posted how Jessie May would recite every morning the 91st Psalm which ends with:  "With long life will I satisfy him (or her), and show him, (her) my salvation."

As a testimony to this promise, claimed on a daily basis--she lived to her 94th year with all of her mental faculties in tact.  During that incredible life span she imparted the gift of her experience and wisdom to everyone with whom she came in contact. 

She was highly opinionated, but gracious and loving as well as quite demonstrative in delivering a story or important message. 

As a teenager I had the privilege of sitting under her spiritual mentoring and learned the valuable lesson that there is power in God's Word.  Grasping hold of it, clinging to it, believing it--gives hope of seeing it come to fruition. 

The message of this blog--to be continued in tomorrow's blog-- which will deal with one of the many Scriptures I have made my very own.
