Hi all! Sorry for the delay. Honestly, sometimes I have no idea what to write, and if I think I do have something worth sharing, I doubt it’s worth you reading.
But this morning as I was reading my Bible and began to journal things that stood out to me, it hit me. Now these things I am jotting down are things worth writing about and sharing with you! Because these are things…truths…that renew our hope in the One who knows right where we are. Things that we can draw from to give us strength throughout the day.
So I’m going to share these nuggets with you as I find them!
I am actually reading the Bible through in a year for the second year with the Hembree family on Bible Discovery TV. I wrote a previous blog post last year about the program I follow so check it out.
We are currently finishing up the book of Luke and starting the book of John. While reading the assigned chapters for the day, I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me in all truth and help me to glean a nugget to hold on to.
And most days something stands out to me as if a God says, “There dear child, this is for you.”
You know, something that speaks directly to me and my circumstances. Has that ever happened to you? You are in a crisis and you RUN to the Word! And it does not disappoint! You begin reading when all of a sudden…bam…it’s as if the scripture that you’ve read so many times before is just what you need to hear. And you find yourself in awe as you process this Word that speaks so directly into your pain or perhaps you discover something new and it bubbles within you such joy.
That, my friend, is our good God.
A good God! Or some may question and say, A good God? And that question stops you in your tracks. You can’t pick up your Bible because you question His goodness. Is He really good? If He knows what I need to hear now, then surely He knew I needed Him to intervene back then!
And it becomes oh so hard to trust Him.
My sweet, sweet, friend. Please hear me. He IS a good God and He cares deeply for you.
As I share these nuggets in my blog posts, I would love for you to pick up your Bible and read along because His word will always speak volumes over mine and He wants to encourage you too and give you a nugget to cling to.
I’m not sure if I will share every day as y’all know I am not good at being consistent(it’s my one weakness), but I long to encourage you as we walk this hard thing called “life” together.
So join my email list so you can receive each post (as I won’t post each one on Facebook and Instagram), and let’s renew our minds together! Because as we grow in the Word, we can be strengthened too as we encourage one another along the way.
After all, life is so often bittersweet.
