What Did He Call You To Do?

Posted on by Jeri Lynn

God is faithful. A faithful person is one who can be trusted and relied on. When we are confident in God and His choices for us, we have realized His faithfulness in all things.

“Called” means to be told or to be named. God calls us to be with Him, and He assigns unique tasks for each of us in this life. God has given us names – proper and common. What are your names?

If I miserably fail in carrying out the tasks of my names…
If no one acknowledges or appreciates my names…
If my names are way different than the names of others..
If I lose the ability to perform the responsibilities of my names…
I am still called by His Name – I am His.

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” – I Corinthians 10:13

Bible Reading Challenge 60 – Week 10

Posted on by Jeri Lynn

January seems to be a fitting month to be reading Jeremiah and Lamentations. After the busyness of family gatherings and fellowship with friends, and numerous activities in November and December, January brings us back to routines. This is a good thing. Winter weather, shortened daylight, and maybe a return to the pressing cares of life seem to bring on the blues for many. Certainly, just watching the news can send us spiraling downward into sadness over the evil prevalent today. What a perfect time of year to meditate on the new mercies that God has for us. New mercies every morning – think on that!

Do you ever struggle with thoughts of what a person said to you [or didn’t say to you] to the point that it paralyzes you from being the Christian God wants you to be? The thoughts we dwell on define our moments. Our moments are a gift from God. Only by His Spirit can we walk in Truth. Listed are a few Scripture verses to think on this January.

Posted on by Jeri Lynn

This week, my reading is past the halfway point in the Bible. Psalms and Proverbs are some of my favorite books in the Bible.

Bible Reading Challenge 60 – Week 5

Posted on by Jeri Lynn

Week 5 marks the least amount of weekly reading thus far, yet full of rich, applicable treasures. Nehemiah held some “Aha” verses – as if they were written to give me understanding of the times in which I live now. Esther needs no promotion – what a beautiful picture of courage and grace. Job, in the midst of losing more than I ever have – not only remained faithful to God, but also spoke confidently to his “friend judges.” He understood that God sovereignly allowed his life to be touched by great pain, and He trusted His God to be good.

Bible Reading Challenge 60 – Week 4

Posted on by Jeri Lynn

Bible reading is a challenge at times. It seems that when I need the most nourishment from God’s Word is when my life seems like it is on the run! It is a proven fact that “fast food” and “eating on the go” are not healthy habits. Applied to spiritual nourishment, neither “fast food” or “eating on the go” are healthy habits for the soul. Nonetheless, as our bodies need food daily, so do our souls. I am one-third of the way to my goal of my Bible Reading Challenge 60.
