2/15/18 | Bringing Out the Beauty

I’ve been restoring this table and yesterday, as I was doing it, I realized how similar it is to this journey with Scripture we are taking. But  even more so, this journey we have in getting to know our God and who we are in His eyes. The table was given to me, it didn’t cost me anything but I knew that it was made of teak Wood and with some effort put into it, it would be gorgeous. It’s how each of us are on this earth, on the outside we can look rough and be broken but, with a little effort and a whole lot of love we are transformed from glory to glory. And much like this table, which was literally hours and hours of work, it was still a labor of love and I believe that’s how God looks at us. We are His labor of love but, we have to put the work in, we have to be willing to use our muscle, get dirty and keep pushing through even when we think it’s going to just take forever.

I finished the table today and it looks beautiful and I don’t know about you but each time I memorize another Scripture, I feel beautiful. I feel strengthened and loved.  So, as you continue on this journey and as it gets harder and harder, remember the beautiful-ness that God is trying to reveal from the inside out. Push through, persevere and if you have to do last month scripture again, do it again, because maybe you’re supposed to rest there. Maybe you’re supposed to hang there and meditate on it and make the scripture so truthful and so real that nothing else compares.

​My Scripture I chose came from the Bible Study Discerning the Voice of God.  Such a powerful study & for me so incredibly relevant on what He had revealed to me while doing the Grow Setting God's Way that I taught in January. 

2/15/18 - Psalm 119: 10,18
"With all my heart I have sought You [inquiring of You and longing for You] Do not let me wander from Your commandments [neither through ignorance nor by willful disobedience]

Open my eyes [to spiritual truth] so that I may behold Wonderful things from Your law."
