GMG: Jesus Meets my Every Need

We are back in session for our 2nd Good Morning Girls (GMG) Bible Study of the year. We are studying Luke 9-16: Living and Leading Like Jesus. I am so happy to be back in session. I did not join a group last session and studies on my own, but regretted it. This session I am in a group with other homeschool moms from many different places. I am super excited to share this journey with them. I find that I learn so much more sharing the study of Scripture with others.

I will be sharing at least one day a week from my Luke study. If you are not familiar with the GMG Bible study method, they use the SOAP method.

S: Scripture / O: Observation / A: Application / P:Prayer

S:

He told them, "Take nothing for the journey--no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them." Luke 9:3-5

O:
  • We should not worry about the things we need-Jesus is our source, our provision and meets our every NEED.
  • He gives us instructions on what He wants us to do and all we have to do is listen and obey.
  • "Shaking the dust off" would show that the disciples were not responsible for how the people responded to their message. Neither am I responsible if I have carefully and truthfully presented Christ, but our message is rejected. Like the disciples, we must move on to others whom God desires to reach. (Life Application Bible)
A:

I do not need to worry about the how and way because Jesus guides me step by step and He has the way figure out. All I need to do is faithfully obey. He has made the provision and will give all that is needed to complete the task. It doesn't matter who rejects, I am to be faithful to the call and not let that stop me.

P:

Lord, I pray that I would be faithful to Your call no matter how hard it may seem. Let me always bring glory to Your Name. Amen.

I'm Back

I never intended to take a break from blogging for nearly 2 months, but it happened. I simply needed a break. I was at the point of burn-out and I could feel it strong.

It has been a great year so far and God is doing amazing things in my life and the life of my family. I can surely say I am not the person I was January 1st and that is a good thing. I know that God is up to something good!

I will be blogging on Tuesday and Thursday each week. I hope you will join me.
