Last Thursday was again such a blessing as we studied the faith and promises of God. We learned some of the many promises that God has given us and even shared some of our favorite scriptures that are full of promises for all of us.
This week, as we turn to study Chapter 4, "Knowing God's Will," I pray that He will make your paths straight, as Proverbs 3:6 says (the promise that I shared last week that has been special in my life!) in the Bible. As the introduction to Chapter 4 says, "The key to knowing God's will is understanding His heart for you and developing a good relationship with Him."
Reminders: Read Chapter 4 for this week; Our memory verse is Romans 10:9-10 [New Living Translation]; Z. and C., you are down to share this week.
Good luck to you as you go through your revision week and begin your exams on Saturday. You are all in my prayers...and know, that God is with you as He always is!

God is in Control
As we all joined together this past Thursday, we discussed what it truly means to make Christ the Lord in your life. We have all been challenged to remember that Christ is the center of our lives and therefore deserves our dedication to Him...and us to release the control of our lives to Him! What a tough thing to do! But as Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, God knows the plans for our lives and therefore, we need to surrender our lives to Christ! What comfort we should find in that. I challenge you this week, as you finish up your last week of classes and look toward the future, to remember that God DOES know the plans for your life...ALL OF THEM...and He will guide you every step of the way. As the introduction in Chapter 3 says (in a statement that is so convicting to me personally), "Biblical faith says, 'Lord, I trust You!" Trust Him...He knows best!!
Blessings to you as you wrap up this week of classes and begin to study for those exams in a few weeks. God is helping you, whether that be walking beside you or carrying you or simply holding your hand...He is there!
Reminders: Our memory verse this week is Romans 5:8; Read Chapter 3, "Faith and the Promises of God." M. you are down to share this next week.
