truth

It’s like an arrow. truth. It’s pierced me and I simply have to share it. God is pretty neat how He uses various resources to speak to you. To me. He had to use three to get me to realize what he wanted to say.
It started in small group on Sunday. I can’t remember what the topic was or how we got started but it came out that my wee baby is going to grow up in a time in our nation that won’t make it easy to be a believer. He may or probably will face persecution. Times will be hard. Have we raised him in the way of the Lord so that when those times come he will be ready to face them? To not back down but stand up for his faith? Does he truly understand that it’s not in the material things of this world that he should value? It’s in his relationships with God and others and how he brings them together? (That’s a tall order for a new Mother and Father.)
While mulling this over I go to women’s Bible study Wednesday. (Which I love.) We are working through:
We did Week 2 today. This means we heard from Kay Arthur. What a neat woman! Would love to meet her. Would love to hear her speak! She challenged us to place our faith in the Word. To rest in it. This is how one goes “deeper still” through faith. She said that times are changing in the States. Christians need to be prepared for tough times. They are coming. Are we digging into God’s Word to prepare for them? When challenges come will we be ready with the Word in our mind and hearts?
From that study there is a link to this blog.
It’s a great read but the fundamental quote from it is, “He is everything. None of the rest of this matters if we don’t know that.”
My conclusion being I need to dig into the Word and pray. Pray for truth, strength and wisdom all the while seeking Jesus because after all, he is all that matters.
