I have shared this before but I wanted to share it again. Jesus is my all in all.

One Word for 2013

Image
My one word for 2013 is..... What is a journey? What is the journey that I am on? What is the journey you are on?   Journey -    The act of traveling from one place to another; a trip.   A distance to be traveled or the time required for a trip   A process or course likened to traveling; a passage   My scripture to guide me on this journey -   [But] I don’t care about my own life [consider my life worth anything]. The most important thing [or My only goal] is that I complete [finish] my mission [task, course, race], the work [ministry; service] that the Lord Jesus gave me [ I received from the Lord Jesus] -to tell people [testify/witness to] the Good News [Gospel] about God’s grace.

Proverbs 31 Introduction

Scripture: Proverbs 31:1-2 NASB The words of King Lemuel, the oracle which his mother taught him: What, O my son? And what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows? Listen: http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/mcconachie/nasb/Prov.31.1-Prov.31.2 Watch: Observe: King Lemuel shares advice that his mother gave to him. We really don't know who King Lemuel was or where he was king.

" The ESV translation is "What are you doing, my son? What are you doing, son of my womb? What are you doing, son of my vows?" His mother was trying to get his attention in regards to how a king is reign. While this is not explicitly stated in the text, maybe he was not doing what he was sup...

The Proverbs 31 Woman

Image
Proverbs 31 Woman by Eva C. Crawford Next week begins the Proverbs 31 study. I thought I'd share some insights about this woman before we dig in deeper. "Just when you thought you'd seen the last of that Proverbs 31 woman, here she comes again to remind you of how wonderful she is. But don't look at her as someone who is larger than life. See in her all the things you can become with the help of Almighty God." - Women of Character by Lawrence Kimbrough This is an acrostic poem with each verse beginning with next Hebrew letter. The woman described encompasses all of wisdom's skills and virtues, from a to z. From  The Baker Illustrated Bible Commentary We are not in competition with this woman. In fact, she is not one woman but a composite of the wonderful attributes of womanhood.  From the ESV Study Bible - "This lofty portrait of excellence sets such a high standard that it can be depressing to godly women today until its purpose is understood...
