Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. —Colossians 2:6-7

We’re excited to start a new Devoted podcast series on called Rooted in Every Season. There are so many stages of life. Some are longer than others, but none of them last forever. This series focuses on practical things from the perspective of women seeking to be rooted in Christ. How do we steward each stage in a way that glorifies our Savior and Creator?

Tune into the podcast on June 11 to catch the first episode of many in this summer series! You can listen in on the Podcast tab of our website, on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? —Psalm 8:3-4

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live in your name I will lift up my hands. —Psalm 63:1-4

I’ll be honest — the last couple of months have been extremely dry for me. I’d like to say it snuck up on me, but as I look back, I knew that I was allowing myself to be distracted and pulled away from time with the Lord. Maybe you can relate, but often as I sit down to read the Word, I am bombarded with all of the tasks of life – doing laundry, checking Facebook marketplace to see if they have the exact thing I need, answering that message, making sure I take my vitamins — whatever it may be…the enemy is at work, trying to cause a rift between me and my relationship with the Lord.

My soul longs for the Lord, but my flesh feeds on distraction and the desires of the world. The good news is, that even when you feel spiritually dry or overly distracted, the Lord is there to fill you and satisfy your soul with living water. He was always there in my living room, looking at me not with disappointment, but compassion. Not condemning or disappointed, but just waiting for me to open the door and let Him in. He would redeem my time, cleanse me from my sin, and my distracted heart.

So, what do we do in those dry seasons? We can remember the goodness of the Lord. We can call out to Him to satisfy our souls, and we can praise Him for the marvelous things He has done. Psalm 143 has always been near and dear to my heart. As I write this devotional, the Lord met me with His grace, reminding me of this passage.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands. I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah —Psalm 143:5-6

As we have just finished studying Psalm 119, it felt fitting to continue by reading through the Psalms together this summer. The Psalms take us through the full range of life, from the highest praise to the deepest lows. They remind us that we can bring everything before the Lord. I have always loved the slow, steady meditation the Psalms invite us into.

This 90-day reading plan is designed to be flexible. You can start whenever you would like, and each day includes one or two chapters.
When you come to Psalm 119, do not rush through it. Take your time.
The Word is living and powerful, and it is worth slowing down even though you just spent a couple of months studying it!

As we move into our "quiet" months at Athey Women in terms of teachings, we encourage you to be in the Word! And what better way to do so than a reading plan! We'll be going through the Psalms this summer, and would love for you to join us!

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” — James 4:13-15
