Tonight's bible study was so good! I missed some of my bible study buddies tonight! I hope everyone is doing well! I just want to encourage you all to pray for the ladies in our group. We ALL have "things" in our lives that the Lord is tending to. Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves, but a cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Let's lift each other up!
Now to the bible study:
It was easy to track the emotions to actions-What isn't always easy is choosing to listen to Wisdom. I hear the alarms going off & well sometimes I just go ahead and pitch my fit--even if I am the only in the room! (I know: tisk,tisk, tisk-Gotta let that Watchman of my thought-closet (Wisdom)do Her job!)
The one defining circumstance from which other issues flow took some time to really think about...glad I took the time & pinpointed it!If you didn't get this far in your homework, it is really worth thinking about...
Recurrent convictions lately-it's funny because during the day an "issue" will pop up & I think to myself "where did you come from?" and then I get busy with the day--I forget to bring it before the Lord. Asking us to think of any recurrent convictions we might have had lately, helped me to take the time to think about it & tell it to the Lord! No longer a weapon the devil can use! I'm so grateful.
Each of the folks in my group tonight, including me, had an accountability partner! Praise the Lord! There is safety in relationships! It is important to have someone you can trust to talk to. Yeah, I don't want to hear that I look fat in my favorite jeans--it would definately hurt my feelings, but my accoutability person would definately tell me & I need her to! She's watching my blind spots for me! (Proverbs 27:17-"iron sharpens iron")
Left tonight with a sweet, sweet peace that as we are in the trenches, dealing with our issues, God is preparing each of us for the specific call on our lives that we may stand strong & remain in the peace of God when the roaring lion attacks.
We only have one more meeting (Tuesday, August 4th 6-7:30 p.m. @ Carpe Diem Coffe & Tea). We will be going over the last 2 weeks of homework. I've already done a couple of days in week 5 & I HAVE to say---the best yet! Love you all! Good luck with your thought-closets!
