5 IMPORTANT WORDS!❗️

Important words come from scripture! Truth from above 5 words!

Truth from the first five words in 1 Peter 2:21…….

             “ to this you were called,”

A big thanks to Nancy E. For this reminder.

Prayer is not useless.

Prayer is THE work!

God gives His people His work to do. 

Christ is your example. 

Be alone with Him!

Seek Him through His Word! (Jeremiah 29:13)

Seek His leading for you. 

THEN, follow in His steps!

1 Peter 2:21 “in 5 words or less” in 5 sentences. 

It’s “Meditation Monday”…..

Think on these things!

PRAYERS AVAILETH MUCH!

Actually, James says,  .......it's the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man that availeth much." (James 5:16)

Asking according to the Father's will is key as well.

Pray warriors I know are all proponents of intercessory prayer;

Family and friends,

Salvation for non-believers,

Revival for believers,

Pastors and missionaries, 

Church leaders and teachers,

City, state, and country.

Prayer from the heart for God's glory and His purpose is key and availeth much!

GOD'S DIRECTION!

How does one read the compass of God's direction. Study His Word. Follow His direction. All are answers I've heard from believers. Robert J. Morgan gives ideas in his Jordan River Rules book, which our group has been reading together.

Morgan sees the center of the compass as a deep conviction of God's sovereignty. All agreed knowing that the Lord is in control....not us! Morgan also espouses that the circumfrance of the compass is wholehearted willingness. In the book of Joshua we have been encouraged to meditate on Scripture day and night, standing on the promise that we can be strong and courageous, knowing "the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:8-9) 

Standing on God's promise of His Presence has sustained us .

For those directionally challenged, a visual is often helpful! 

N= Nearness aka his Presence (Morgan, p.53)

S= Scripture leads to divine truth (IBID, 53)

E=Entrusting every detail to the One who knows the path He has uniquely for us

W=Wise plans, a watchful heart & waiting on Him; result=His way to move forward

So grateful for believers together......who desire to follow God's directions to the path of righteousness which is found in Christ alone. (Acts 4:12)

As we seek to move forward in life may we all clearly hear His voice saying, "This is the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)
