Believing God

I am doing a Beth Moore Bible study called Believing God with a group of 20 women at church. Thankfully one of my friends here in High Point saw the need for a bible study in the summer and stepped up to organize and lead a study. Thanks Shannon!!! One of the things she has been challenging us to do is memorize scripture. I have always made up tons of excuse of why I am not good at memorizing scripture. They are all excuses. Caleb has always been good at it and knows the book of Colossians. I'm not just bragging on him here, well I kind of am. Anyways, its been amazing to watch how he has applied these verses to his life and ours. So, between these two challenges, I have decided to stop making excuses and give it a try. I wanted to share with you guys a few verses that have been written on my heart and mind the past couple of weeks that have had a huge impact.

Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
This verse reminds me how much I need to be in the word.

Philippians 1:27
What ever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.
This verse really helps me check what I am doing and saying. It really reminds me of how I should respond in any and every situation.

1 Corinthians 2:9 No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.
This verse just gives me such peace.

Along with memorizing scripture there are 5 main points to this study. These are things that I have to constantly remind myself of as well.
1. God is who he says he is.
2. God can do what he says he can do.
3. I am who God says I am.
4. I can do all things through Christ.
5. God's word is alive and active in me.

Knowing and meditating on these truths and scripture has been such a joy and blessing for me. I just wanted to share them with y'all.

Now that I have made up for my lack of blogging the past few weeks, its time to get back to cleaning the kitchen. Does it ever end???
