<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The key verse in my devotional today is Psalm 23:1-3. I have found myself repeating these words on so many occasion. Most recently when I felt fear, I repeated these words and claimed them as God's promise to me. My fear subsided and I was overcome with a sense of peace. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><i>The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.</i></span> </span></span><br />

people, I am performance based--I love to do a good job and to get a pat on the

don't always get that pat on the back and an empty feeling inside can
develop. In chapter 3 of A Confident Heart, Renee Swope mentions Proverbs 19:22 What a person desires is unfailing love. I, like Renee have tried to fill that emptiness or desire
with something other than God's love--only to find disastrous results with that
effort. When I began to seek God's word
and guidance, that void became fille<span style="font-size: small;">d. </span> </span></span></div>

While outside this morning I saw a group of birds resting
together on the ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I noticed that
as they perched on the grass, there was a symmetry to how closely they sat next
to one another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only were they
equally spaced, but all seemed to be angled toward the sun in exactly the same
manner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Suddenly they all took off to
dance through the sky their flight looking like a carefully and masterfully choreographed
dance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Throughout every loop and swoop,
the birds continued the symmetry that they had begun on the ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will
put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at
the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which
of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are
you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:
they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these. ... </span></div>

the Father, the Almighty<br />
maker of heaven and earth,<br />

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,<br />
the only Son of God,<br />
eternally begotten of the Father,<br />
God from God, Light from Light,<br />
true God from true God,<br />
begotten, not made,<br />
of one Being with the Father.<br />
Through him all things were made.<br />
For us men and for our salvation<br />
he came down from heaven:<br />
by the power of the Holy Spirit<br />
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.<br />
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;<br />
he suffered death and was buried.<br />
On the third day he rose again<br />
in accordance with the Scriptures;<br />
he ascended into heaven<br />
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.<br />
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,<br />
and his kingdom will have no end.<br />
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life,<br />
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.<br />
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.<br />
He has spoken through the Prophets.<br />
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.<br />
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.<br />
We look for the resurrection of the dead,<br />
and the life of the world to come. Amen.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Lowering your nets…<br />
(Response to Bible Study "When women say Yes to God" </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Simon's response to Jesus request to "let down the nets
for a catch" is very similar to my response when I feel Jesus is asking me
to do something. Simon's first response in Luke 5:5--Master, we 've worked hard
all night and haven't caught anything. I can't count how many times I have
countered Jesus' request with excuses such as Simon's first response--we've
worked hard all night, or I am too tired to do this, or I have too much to do,
or I am sure that won't work or surely it won't matter if I don't do this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My list of excuses can be endless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though Simon is skeptical and tired he continues by
responding with <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>---"BUT because you
say so, I will let down the nets."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow--I
can learn so much from Simon's follow up with those powerful words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I equate letting down the nets like Simon to
getting out of my comfort zone or acting without regard to the world's
expectations when it comes to responding to Jesus' direction in my life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What little thing is Jesus asking of me today and everyday?
He is asking me to be less focused on myself and more focused on others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I often find myself<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>so intent on my goals for the day<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that I never<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>engage with the people I encounter at the grocery store, or airport or
anywhere else. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am fixated on finishing
my task at hand without seeing the needs of others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus is asking me to slow down and look
beyond my busyness to see people and share a smile or a few nice words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This simple act of widening my vision to see
the people around me has caused me to be overwhelmed at the changes in myself. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This little act has allowed Jesus to mold me
into the person He desires. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This little
act has opened the door for conversations and friendships and possibilities I
never dreamed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I started this bible study What Happens When Women Say Yes to God because I wanted to start saying yes to God
more often. You see--I believe God
speaks to us frequently…very frequently.
I know that I let the distractions of the life I have created make it easier for me to use
selective hearing with God. It is easy to say Yes to those things that
I want to do and easy to turn a deaf ear to those things that I don't really want
to do. Sometimes God asks me to say yes
in a big way and sometimes he asks me to say yes in small ways. </span></span></i></div>

forward with the opportunity. Seemingly
overnight I stepped into a world in which I was completely out of my element.
Like a spoiled child, I told God that
since I was doing this, He was going to have to hold my hand. I like to think that He just laughed at me
like a parent laughs at a child with love and understanding. Now I know that Isaiah 41:13 says "For I am the Lord, your God, who
takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help
you." </span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The first few months I proved to be irritable, moody,
