I Am who I Am - Bible Study

-


Christian, do you want to know who you are? Get to know who God is.


Isaiah 40:28 ESV - Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.


When you know more of who God is, you'll understand how great your sin is in light of His holiness.


1 Peter 1:16 ESV - Since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."


When you know more of who God is, His love for you takes on so much more value and meaning.


Psalm 18:2 ESV - 2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.


Psalm 62:6-7 ESV - 6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. 7 On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.


Revelation 7:10-12 ESV - And crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen."



Christian, get to know God


Feeling like you are not enough? Feeling overwhelmed by life? Spend more time with God, not less. Turn to Him when you feel helpless. Read His word-not just what others say about His word (including me). Talk to Him. Know the fullness of who He is (Old & New Testament) Cry to Him. Let the Holy Spirit intercede for you in conjunction with Jesus. Romans 8:26-27 (ESV) Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Hebrews 7:22-25 (ESV) This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. 23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.


Christ is worthy and His greatness brings meaning to your salvation. Glory to God!

Missed flights, road trip, and God's provision--CMW Writer's retreat

-

  A couple of weeks ago I returned from a fabulous time with some of my favorite people at the Christian Mommy Writer's retreat! We have around 100 of us scattered around the world, though we're primarily in the USA, and it's such an amazing group of authors who are navigating juggling family life, serving the Lord, and glorifying Him in our writing. Many of the books I review and recommend are by these amazing ladies. At the retreat we had classes where we heard from a number of different authors who spoke on our writing craft, marketing, and balancing all of our jobs. One of the most special times we had each day was our morning devotional and worship time. We also spent plenty of time catching up in person on life and writing, sharing ideas, and of course writing. As ladies love to do, we had a Gala evening where we all dressed up, went out for dinner, presented awards, and celebrated our writing journey.  As for the title of this post, the travel to and from this event ...

Review of Sowing Hope by Heather Wood

  My review of Sowing Hope: Sowing Hope by Heather Wood will take you on a journey as you follow along with Patrick Gallagher in 1836 on his path from Maryland to Missouri to work with Elijah Lovejoy a famous abolitionist (a real historical figure). Along the way you’ll also meet Anna Markland and find out the mysteries she holds as their lives intersect. This book places you right in the action—including the hardships of the time, difficulties for abolitionists and black Americans, and the spiritual battle that took place among it all as Heather Wood weaves together an excellent Christian Historical Fiction story that is filled with so much fact and many real people that it’s hard to imagine her fictional characters weren’t really there. And yes, her story has a sweet romance too. One of my favorite aspects of a Heather Wood book is always the faith threaded throughout. Her characters exemplify real trials, temptations, sin, and moral failures, but she also shows redemption, f...

Are You Listening?

  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 ESV Recently my husband put up a temporary fence for our cows to allow them to eat some of the nice green grass in our yard. I should have prefaced this by saying I'm a city girl and 23 years ago my husband "Green Acre'd" me to rural Tennessee. Then we bought land and it was too much to mow, so our neighbor said, "Get some cows and I'll help you when you need it." So here we are on 17 or so acres with a few cows and donkeys. (the cows in the distance are our neighbors)  Back to the story of the fence. With the field drying out he thought it would be a great idea to give them some extra grass. He set up the fence, got a bucket of feed, and lured them over. For the three in the bottom picture, it took little coaxing. They saw that there was nice green grass on the other side and that their owner/protector approved, so they went. Those cows have been happily eating green grass for the...
