What’s in a word… (week 4)

February 2, 2019January 31, 2019 ~ stacyboyer

Rest. It means “freedom from activity or labor; a state of motionlessness or inactivity” according to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary.

Rest in the thought that your spiritual discipline in January has done it’s work in the soil of your heart.

"I'm celebrating." She said it next to me in the canned goods aisle. An invitation to come alongside her in her joy. I accepted the invitation: "Oh... What are you celebrating?" And she shared her joy and a bit of her story. I heard about the celebratory meal she was preparing for one. I figured she should know my name since I shared her joy. "I'm Carol." And she said, "I'm Joy." And Joy was joy- full! I offered a celebratory hug which she received. As we parted ways she thanked me for listening and I was blessed to be the one to come alongside in her joy. An unexpected time to encourage an unexpected person in an unexpected place. "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." -- Philippians 2:4 #sistertalkfaith #encourage #comealongside #ithappenedatwalmart

"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above..." Colossians 3:1 Seeking the things above doesn't mean we spend our days looking up at the sky. His Kingdom is unseen. We live on earth. It's what we see. But He's calling us to live in a way where we see the unseen truth of His Kingdom revealing itself in creation (Romans 1:20). We live in a broken world. The one we broke by our sin. We handed over the rule of the world to Satan when we swallowed down his lie. Yet the overpowering goodness of God outshines the darkness of the world. We see it in the beauty the enemy's evil could not destroy. Flowers blooming among weeds. Rainbows in the middle of storms. Joy in the midst of trials. Seek the things above by opening your eyes to the beauty around you. "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened..." Ephesians 1:18 #sistertalkfaith #openyour eyes #inspire #encourage

She said it in the study today, "Endurance, that's such a hard sounding word." And I said, "Because it IS hard..." I mean, when was the last time you had to endure a piece of cake? Endurance is what it takes to stay on the 300-calories-a-meal diet. But God, who is the God of encouragement, is also the God of endurance. It takes both to live a life of love in the midst of a broken world filled with broken people. He endured so much for us that we might find encouragement in Him and do the same for others. "May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 15:5-6 #sistertalkfaith #lovingothers #endurance #encourage #noteasy
