The Word

     Studying God’s Word with others helps to strengthen our faith, to learn from the wisdom of others and their experience and it gives us opportunity to wrestle with some of the tough questions in life and in following Jesus. The ways of the world today can easily seep into our minds and hearts.  How do we stay pure and in line with God?

     Seeking Him first. Praising and praying to Him as we rise, meditating on His Word as much as possible, praying throughout the day and listening for the voice of the Holy Spirit within us. Not easy is it? I pray you have deep fellowship in the Lord. Those relationships with other believers will keep us strong and faith-filled and accountable.

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

     The following verse touched the hearts of the class of women I have been blessed to teach for the past seven years. I am richly blessed to have been among them.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly, as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. Colossians 3:16

Father,

Thank you for the believers you place in our lives. Let us encourage and strengthen one another as we follow You in the world around us. Give us courage and wisdom today.

In Jesus name,

Amen
