Forthright Fixation

Debbie:

Through many situations at work, at home, and dealing with upcoming projects, God has been showing me that my strength comes through Him- and only Him. Trying to glean lasting comfort and strength elsewhere is fruitless.

“It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.” (Psalm 18:32, NIV)

Hännah:

I’ve been blessed this week as my family returned home from California, and the quiet week here alone ended. Some friends of ours blessed us by helping rearrange bedrooms and paint to suprise mom when she arrived. Also, I was very thankful to finally get some work for the summer. Seeing God provide at just the right time for His children has really been an encouragement.

Kaitlin:

This week God has shown me the importance of starting the day with my devotions. It leads to less distracted thoughts throughout the day, and more is gleaned from my devotions when my mind is “fresh” early in the morning.

Kate:

God has provided much grace this week even when I feel at my worst. It isn’t always fun, but I’m grateful that He works humility and dependence in us through our mistakes and shortcomings.

Katie Marie:

Katie Marie is in Texas this week at the Rebelution conference. Please pray for traveling safety and for God’s grace as the conference progresses!

Kelsey:

“And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him…” And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof.” Luke 7:4-6

Riëtte:

God has been teaching me this week about depending on Him. Though you’d think any Christian “knows” to do so, I’ve been very convicted regarding my lack of doing so. Self-sufficiency does not please God and puts a burden on my shoulders that I cannot carry. There is much grace in depending on the One who can, though!

Steph:

How kind God is to give me a God-sized task that reveals all of my weaknesses. And how wonderful He is to promise His resources to me so that He gets the glory and I receive His strength!
