Song of the Month:
Consuming Fire - Hillsong
Here is a little poem I wrote that I would like to share with ya'll!
"Do you feel like the storm is raging?
The sea is eating you up?
The waves are crashing and you just can't see the shore?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Let Jesus come and take control, He's there when you call. He'll catch you if you fall.
No need to worry at all, you'll be safe if you call on His name."
~By Deborah Allyn M.

Bible Verses:
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,
And He delights in his way. Psalm 37:23
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. James 4:1-3
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20
Devotion:
I'm sure you've heard people say (probably yourself included!) "God will open the doors for me". I know that I've said it. I do believe that this is true. God does open doors. Sometimes though we have to turn that doorknob! Sometimes we need to be bold and walk through the door. I recently have had the opportunity to play guitar and piano with my youth group during practice here in AZ. I know though that if I hadn't asked and took the steps to do it, nothing would have happened. God will unlock a door for us, we just have to open it! The Lord knows what is best for us, and if we ask for something out of His will, He will just say no! We sometimes tend to think that when God says no He isn't answering our prayers, but really there are 3 answers to prayer: Yes, No, and wait. Getting told no, and having to wait are sure hard things to do! Let us remember in our prayers that when we ask God for His will and to open doors for us we sometimes have to take the steps of faith for something to happen!
Love and Prayers,
Deborah Allyn
