Weekly Life Applications

Weekly Life Applications

.

Here are a few lessons I received from last week’s Bible reading:

  • Matt 2:3 – Even from His birth, people under Satan’s influence hated Him. Before He was even born, people were planning to kill Him!
  • John 15:25 – “But this happened so that the statement written in their law might be fulfilled, ‘They hated Me for no reason.'” (This is talking about a different incident in the Bible, but it was in the message Jay preached last week. It connected so well that I wanted to share it.)
  • Matt. 5:4 – Grief and mourning are so hard to go through! However, those are usually the times when we tend to call on the Lord the most. As hard as it is to walk through grief, it is a privilege to have the Lord of All Creation walking right by our sides. It is an opportunity to experience something only He can give – true peace and comfort!                                      
                                                 
  • Matt. 5:23-24
    • Your relationship with people needs to be right for your relationship with the Lord to be right.
    • Relationships need to be our priority.
    • Relationships are more important than gifts, tithes, offerings, or anything of monetary value. They are one of the Lord’s top priorities!

If you have just joined me recently, these are examples of some of the comments I write in the Bibles I am giving to my grandchildren when they graduate. Click here to see the post where I explain this eternal gift idea.

I hope you enjoyed these life applications. Please share any thoughts or insights the Lord has put on your heart this week.

Have a Grace & Joy-filled day!

Susan

    Such a great message and reminder especially this time of year, Susan. I saw a sign the other day that read, “His presence is more important than your presents” and it definitely helped to put things into perspective as He is the only gift we truly need. Big hugs and thanks for this weekly series, CoCo

Hello!

Hello!

Welcome! I believe homes and families should be filled with grace and joy! As I think about my life, I can see how my grandmother and my mom poured these beliefs into our home. How fitting that my grandmother's name was Grace and my mother's name is Joy. I hope to share the impact "Grace and Joy" have made on my life and in my home!

I wrote this back in 2006, but the household tips, recipes, and organizational strategies are still relevant as they are filtered through the lens of Scripture.
