Patience and Perseverance June: Day 1

Welcome back fellow followers in Christ.  Doing God's will sometimes means waiting patiently.  That is why June is dedicated to Patience & Perseverance.  While we wait we can love God, serve others, and tell others about him.

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,

and he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the pit of despair,

out of the mud and the mire.

He set my feet on solid ground

and steadied me as I walked along.

He has given me a new song to sing, 

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see what he has done and be amazed.

They will put their trust in the Lord.

Psalm 40:1-3

Waiting for God to help us is not easy, but David received four benefits from waiting: 1) God lifted him out of his despair, 2) God set his feet on solid ground, 3) God steadied him as he walked, and 4) God put a new song of praise in his mouth.  Often blessings can't be received unless we go through the trial of waiting.

January Bible Resolutions: Day 1st - New Year's Day

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
And I'm SO happy to still have my sisters (and maybe brothers?) in Christ following me.  If you're new to my Bible Studies Blog, welcome.  If you're new to the love of Christ, an even BIGGER welcome!  I hope to help you along in your new found faith.
As you know, a new year means changes.  No, no changes to this blog but rather a look at those resolutions we make as human beings. 
Most are given up within the month.  However, through God and his Son, anything can be accomplished!

Verse: 

Thus says the Lord,

who makes a way in the sea,

a path in the mighty waters,

who brings out a chariot and horse,

army and warrior;

they lie down, they can not rise,

they are extinguished, quenched like a wick.

Do not remember the former things, 

or consider the things of old.

I am about to do a new thing;

now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness

and rivers in the desert.

 Isaiah43:16-19

Know It!

Q:  What new thing will the Lord do? 

A: The Lord, according to Isaiah 43, will make a new way/path.
