I got behind again yesterday, and this will have to be fast since I'm behind again today. My parents and in-laws are coming tomorrow (!!!) and my husband is out of town for work. Stress! I have been praying (it's the only thing that keeps me sane) but haven't had as much time for study the past couple of days.
We are still on Proverbs 31:10-31
Day 2: TRUTHS
Lies fill our world and seep into our homes. If we don’t know His truths then lies will
take us captive. Lies have taken me captive. If lies bind us, we doubt God’s love and
question His faithfulness when difficulties arise. If lies fill our minds, we define God’s
character based upon our circumstance rather than based upon His revelation. We must
maintain an arsenal of truths in our hearts and souls in order to combat lies. - Savoring

With your journal and pen ready, look for specific TRUTHS in this week’s text. Read the
passage three times, each time answering one of the following questions:
• What does this passage teach about God?
• What does this passage teach about the author?
• What can I learn about who I am in Christ?
As you find truths, list them in your journal. Consider making a master list of all you learn
through your studies about the Holy Spirit, the fruit that comes as you keep in step with the Spirit
of God, and what is true of those who are in Christ.
Day 3: PROMISES
At times He speaks conditional promises, meaning they will only be experienced when
a condition is met. For example, He promises to guard our hearts and minds with peace
as we lay all of our anxious thoughts before Him with prayer and thanksgiving. (Phil.
4:6-7) Peace comes after we come to Him.
Other times He gives unconditional promises, meaning that they will happen
regardless. For example He promises to never leave or forsake His children. Never.
Once His, He will not leave us. We may try to walk away from Him, but He remains
our Father. He promises. - Savoring Living Water
Today read your passage while looking for PROMISES. Remember to note whether a promise
is conditional or unconditional.
• What is promised to me in this passage?
• Are these promises conditional or unconditional?
• If conditional, what does He require for the promise to be fulfilled?
I'll try to come back later and comment. Know that I am praying for all of you regardless of whether I get back here and comment. I still read them and add your requests to my 'prayer list'... :)
