If you know Beth Moore at all, you know just how to say that. With a thick Texan accent and shaking your head at the same time.
I spent the day with my friend Janna at her church for a simulcast of Beth speaking on "Straight Talk About God's Deliverance." Get this--there were 500 simulcast locations and more than 150,000 women across North America who attended. Wow.
As always, listening to Beth was just amazing. I'm inspired by her love for Jesus, her knowledge of Scripture, and her total dependence upon God. I love this woman. Though I've never met her (yet!), I feel like she is one of my dearest friends because she has been such an encouragement to me during hard times. I'm already looking forward to the end of April, when I'll be going to Albuquerque for a Living Proof Live weekend. Anyone wanna come?
She talked today on Psalm 18--such a vivid picture of God stooping down to rescue us from the mud and mire of the pits in which we find ourselves. As someone who has spent some time in the pit of despair, brokenhearted and alone, I was once again overwhelmed by how much God loves me and how he reached down, took hold of me, drew me out of despair, and rescued me and set me upon the Rock. As Beth would say, "Glory!"
I'm still reeling from the day, thinking through all I heard, and processing it all. I'm so hoping that today's talk will be available to download somewhere, because I'd love to hear it again and let it sink in some more.
The bottom line? "God is bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight" (Psalm 18:2, The Message). I'm so grateful.
I was also at the simulcast in Louisiana. I really enjoyed the material. So many thoughts and important things to remember. Maybe later they will offer it on her web site. Do you know about her blog? Right now she is in Isreal taping the new material for the next study :Psalms of the ascent"--something like that. Her blog is http://www.livingproofministries.blogspot.com .
