Have I told you lately how much I LOVE hearing what God has been revealing through your daily studies? Well, in case I haven't told you I ABSOLUTELY love it! Seeing how God uses the different days of study to impress each of us differently is a blessing For one it was gathering, for another His grace is sufficent and new every morning, and for another that Jesus is THE Word and many more. It just shows how personal our God is!
I hope you were as encouraged as I was by one of the verses we focused on Monday night.
2 Peter 1:3,4.
"His divine power has given us ALL things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue by which we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
How do we have knowledge of Him? Knowing His word!
Okay, I have to quote another precious scripture which emphasis again how important it is to know His word!
Proverbs 4:13
"Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life."
Please remember to pray for each other. What a great and wonderful gift we have to be able to go into the throne room of God and lift up one another to Him!
God bless you on your "manna" gathering each "morning!"
See you back on November 9th!

Session 1 - Email
Over and over again, our God never ceases to amaze me of His goodness! Thank you again for all your prayers and suport during this difficult time of losing my Dad. It's three weeks ago tonight and as I reflect on his life and our times together I can't help but be so incredibly grateful that he is rejoicing with my Lord tonight! What a hope, joy, and comfort that is to my mom and me!
Well, I am excited to get further into this study and see what the Lord is wanting to reveal about himself to us. Looking back over Week 1, I loved seeing how He was continually offering a bridge between His people and Himself to allow communication with Him. He's a God of relationship! He wants us to know him intimately. Not just a surface knowledge, but deeply know Him. Oh, I ask that we began each day of our study with that request of Him, that he fill us with the knowledge of Himself so that we may become more like him. To walk like Him, to talk like Him, to think like Him, to respond like Him.
In Week 2, we will be studying the concept of God seeking to set His people free from their dependence on themselves so that they depend instead on Him. I love how Beth put this, "That our own insufficiencies are invitations to experience the supernatural sufficiency of a universally powerful, personally responsible God!" Hold on tight I think it might be a wild ride in homework for week 2!
God bless you more than you can think or imagine sweet daughter's of His! I look forward to seeing you Oct. 26th for Session 2!
Jer. 31:25 "For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul."
