Sharing God's word verse by verse to encourage others!

Summer is almost here and we are planning next steps to help us stay in God's Word! Are you interested in an online book club?

A group to read through a book that points to The Book and helps us grow and connect with the Lord and others.

If you'd love a book club, tell us so in the comments and even suggest a book! We would love to hear from you as we make plans for our community 💜

Tonight we gather with a beautiful group in our hometown to continue our study of Psalm 42! We are learning about our soul's longing for close relationship from the Lord. Total dependence upon God to satisfy our deepest longing for our Creator to be near.

We are grateful for a full spring and more grateful for those who are stepping in to help us as Donna continues to heal. No words are enough to express our gratitude. We give the Lord all praise and glory as we follow where He leads 💜

In our darkest valley, He is with us. He is for us. It is His nature to comfort His flock.

The Shepherd leads.

The Shepherd protects.

The Shepherd remains.

The Shepherd will comfort those that know His voice and trust His name.

Father, thank you for your goodness. You are our Maker and you make a way through the valleys. You are Light in the darkness. The Way, The Truth, The Life. You bring deep comfort to our hearts when we are far from comfortable. Thank you for being our Good Shepherd. Amen

When we open His word, we are opening an opportunity for God to nourish our souls.

He is ready to fill us, guide us, give us wisdom, and direction.

Hope and joy await! The question is, will we accept the invitation to come, “taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8)?

When we develop a daily practice of ingesting God’s word, we find the fullness we are searching for in the wrong places. Others cannot do this for us and there are no satisfying substitutes. Think about your favorite meal. It’s sitting at the table in front of you. You can see it and smell it, and then, someone else takes the fork and eats from your plate. They tell you how wonderful the meat is, how tender and satisfying. You see them devour the beautiful cake that was made for you, bite by bite. As they enjoy the goodness, you watch and wonder. You see how good the food is, but you are not tasting it for yourself. While it becomes fuel for their body, you are left empty and undernourished.

Our souls crave what we were created for~ deep relationship with God. Relationships require communication and communication takes time. Time that is used to speak and listen. The Bible is filled with God’s inspired words, active and alive (Hebrews 4:12), ready to answer the questions that circle around in our heads. When we wrestle with doubts and fears, we have a safe place to take our questions. Answers await. His promises are written and ready to delight our hearts. We can trust God to meet us in His word, with a listening ear.

When we open His word, we are creating time to... (link in comments)

Let the godly sing for joy to the LORD; it is fitting for the pure to praise him.Praise the LORD with melodies on the lyre; make music for him on the ten-stringed harp. Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. For the word of the LORD holds true, and we can trust everything he does. Psalm 33:1-4

Action Plan: Take time today to search for scriptures that affirm the following: you are forgiven; you are not alone; you are seen; you are heard; you are loved.

But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds. Psalm 73:28

The words of this verse leapt from the page during my quiet time. Our small group was studying God’s sovereignty and of all the verses, this was the one I needed. Loneliness filled my nights, with a husband deployed, but I knew that I was not alone, and it was indeed “good to be near God.” I opened my Bible to read the verse in context and I was surprised that several verses earlier the Psalmist was singing a different tune. In verse 14 I read, “All day long I have been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments.” That did not sound like refuge, but I could relate. My circumstances and the uncertain circumstances of the world had me searching, asking, and lamenting also.

But as for me.

Yes! We can make a heart determination if you will. We don’t have to rest in what we see or how the rest of the world is responding.

"As for me, I can say, “it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge.”

Because, even when our circumstances are less than desirable, we can take shelter in His arms. 💜

Action Plan: Read Psalm 73; pay particular attention to the conflict the Psalmist is having in verse 3. What is his observation about himself in verses 2, 13, and 16? What changed in verse 17? What does the Psalmist observe about himself in verses 21 and 22? And lastly, what assurances do we find in verses 23-28?

Blessed is woven throughout the scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation. God has blessed His people and calls His people to be a blessing.

Blessed are we to be children of God.
Blessed are we to be forgiven.
Blessed are we to be strengthened by the Lord.
Blessed are we to have peace from above.
Blessed are we to be comforted by God.
Blessed are we to be loved by God, and to share that love with others.

How can you be a blessing to another out of the overflow you have been blessed with by the Lord?

And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 2 Corinthians 9:8

God's blessings differ from the world's and outlast this world. Eternity is only in Christ Jesus!

We are blessed to be forgiven and blessed to be promised eternal life through Jesus.

Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Psalm 32:1
