What a wonderful time we had this evening!

If you have never tried a hat burning class with Breaking Chains Custom Creations you are missing out. This was so fun trying something new! It was so enjoyable to be with a larger group of my sisters in Christ from different churches. The art and messages that each lady wanted to display on their hats is a unique way to share our joy with others.

We all come from different walks of life. We all have very different stories and testimonies. Each of us have our favorite scriptures that speak to us. The one thing that unites us is Christ who saves us! All these women are special and I can't express enough how much they mean to me.

If you haven't found your people yet...we'd love to have you with us!

This week in our Flourish Bible study on Thursday evening, we studied Philppians 2. And when we come to verses 14-15, we are commanded by the Apostle Paul to "Do everything without grumbling and arguing..." (CSB). In a world full of negativity, we have to be the light as Christ followers. It's easy to do what everyone else does. It's not just a mind-set, it's how we're supposed to live.

Why shouldn't we complain and grumble? Verse 15 tells us why: "So that we can be blameless and pure, children of God without fault, in a crooked and perverted generation..."

Let's just face it, things happen in our lives that just plain stink sometimes. It's tough to no complain when we've worked so hard just to see our work come crumbling down or someone make it difficult for you along the way. But if we remain obedient, we "...shine like stars in the world, by holding firm to the word of life..."

Hold firm to the word of life so that, like Paul, we can say "Then I can boast in the day of Christ that i didn't run or labor for nothing."

Matthew 27:62-66 (CSB)
62 The next day, which followed the preparation day, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, "Sir, we remember that while this deceiver was still alive he said, 'After three days I will rise again.' 64 "So give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come, steal him, and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first." 65 "Take guards," Pilate told them. "Go and make it as secure as you know how." 66 They went and secured the tomb by setting a seal on the stone and placing the guards.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Jesus’ body was placed in the tomb for His burial, those who wanted Him dead still tried everything in their power to ensure Jesus didn’t do what He said He would do. Just imagine you are one of Jesus’ followers and it’s the day after He died. There’s not much provided in the Bible on what the disciples and the women who followed Jesus did on the day before His resurrection. We do know the disciples ran away in fear when Jesus was betrayed. What do you think was going through their thoughts as they sat waiting?

I know in my life, there have been times of waiting. Waiting for God to do something. God, are you going to come through for me? Should I keep praying this seemingly pointless prayer? I’ve prayed this a thousand times! Those three days must have seemed like an eternity.

And the accusations. The purpose of the guards at the tomb was to ensure no one came to steal the body. So now, the town is wondering and waiting to see what conspiracies will come from all of this. Rumors are spreading, causing everyone to be suspicious and could even further affect the lives of the disciples. Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do? People just don’t understand to full knowledge of what’s going on. God, what is your plan? How are you going to make all this right?

We don’t have to wonder what happened next in the story, but I wanted to take the time to ruminate on some of the above thoughts. If you ever find yourself in a place where you don’t have a clue what’s going on, lean harder into God’s promises. The disciples were scared for their lives, but all they had to do was just wait for Jesus to rise from the dead. They just had to endure the pain of uncertainty for a little while longer.

What are some promises that you need to lean into? Share in the comments what life experiences you have had that demonstrated to you that God keeps his promises and what Bible verses you clung to for encouragement.

Happy Holy Saturday.

Prayer is a wartime walkie talkie, not an intercom to the butler.
