A Necessity

Meeting with a group of friends on a regular basis for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship may sound like a frivolous luxury, but for myself it’s a definite necessity. These gatherings hold me accountable, keep me in the Word, and quite honestly, they improve my demeanor making me a nicer girl. Getting together with like-minded women fills me up with God’s goodness, causing me to overflow with His goodness in other areas of my life. God calls us each to journey with Him, but also recommends finding companions for the ride. His desire and design is for us to be in community with others who love Him as much as we do. Ask God to lead you to a group, or send some traveling friends your way. Whenever you all come together, He’ll be there too, right by your side.

Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

In His Hands

This topsy turvy world is full of unpredictable uncertainty, and despite our best efforts and well laid plans, we don’t really know exactly what each day will hold. When chaos comes creeping there’s no need to despair—remember, we know the One who calls light out of darkness, and holds our day in His Hands.

The key to our hope is not in what the day holds, but Who holds the day.

Psalm 24:1, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; ² for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.”
