My word for April 28th is COUNTENANCE!


My word for April 28th is COUNTENANCE

One thing I have never been able to hide is how I feel.  If I am happy you know it, if I am sad you know it, if I am mad you know it, my countenance shows everything.  The expression on my face is a dead give away of my feelings.  Many people can hide how they feel.  They can pretend they are happy, pretend they like someone, or pretend that life is a bowl of cherries.  Our countenance reveals our true condition.  It reveals on the outside what is going on in the inside.  I have always thought it would be nice to be able to hide all emotions from everyone but are we really hiding?

We can never hide anything from the Lord.  He knows everything.  However when we are walking with Him the countenance on our face will reflect Him.  A blessing that was given to Gods people was that His face would shine upon them and He would life up His countenance upon them.  Joyce Meyer says, “When the world looks at us they need to see something different from them.  Our countenance shows them that we have something they want and need.  We look better when we worship with God.   Worship puts a smile on our face.”

Writing for this page has changed my countenance.  When I am writing for Him one can see it in my countenance.  There isn’t any distress; there is a peace and calmness that is shown on my face.  This is what the Lord does for us.  Everyone around us can tell if we are walking the walk with Him.  Our face will shine and beam with joy.  The Lord enables our expressions to show that we have fully turned our lives over to Him.  During the journey of 2012 change yourself from the inside out.  Walk the journey with Him and let Him lead the way. 

Dear Lord let our countenance show that we are follow You.  We know that by walking this journey with You we will be full of peace and joy.  You let us shine with Your good word.  Our journey of 2012 may lead to some difficulties, but walking it with You will allow us to overcome anything. 

Numbers 6:22-26  King James Version (KJV)
 22And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:  26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
