Be Set Free!

Scripture For The Day

"Be Set Free!" 

Today of all days is fitting for us to finish out our study on the women that God loved and used in the Bible. We are Set Free!  I hope and pray that this study has encouraged you to recognize your value and your worth in Christ. All of us were made by Him, through Him, and for Him. “And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR ‘likeness’… So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He Him; MALE AND FEMALE created He them.” Genesis 1:26-27. We are all created in God’s image. We may look different but our spirits are made the same and made for the same purpose. And when we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts, we are to be AS One. With hearts and minds that have the same purpose; Sharing The Gospel, Being True to His Word, and encouraging each other. No more condemnation. We have been set Free! We will disagree. That is human nature. But we can continue to love and show respect and to study His Word to show ourselves approved. Study, not just read.  There is no growth unless we choose to grow. We need more than just milk, give us the meat! It’s time to eat!

Galatians 3 tells us that we who accept JESUS CHRIST have been made free. “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But AFTER that Faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are ALL the children of God by Faith in Christ Jesus… There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE; for ye are ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS” We are set free!

Respect each other, whether male or female. Throughout our study, we have learned that women have played vital roles in the Bible. Some unnamed but still vitally important. We are all loved and valued by God. From Eve to Mary and to all the unnamed, their courage, their strength, and their love, are beautiful examples for us to learn and live by. We also struggle with hardships and adversity and sorrow. This isn’t just about Bible days. God continues to use women in many beautiful ways that encourage and uplift and teach the rest of us. Recently I began reading a book by a well-known pastor. I often read the foreword and dedications and I couldn’t help but get tickled at the plethora of women that he was acknowledging that helped him with writing his book. Women have contributed greatly to the ministering of The Gospel. Don’t let anybody treat you as if you are not valued by God.  You are Called according to HIS PURPOSE, not anyone else’s. When you choose to accept Jesus, you are forgiven. You are Loved! You are Not condemned. You are included! You are Accepted! You aren’t Alone! You are Wonderfully Made! You are Free! You are Chosen! You Belong to God! And your value and worth are in HIM and in Him alone! 

Lift up your face Child and be set free!

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
