Heroes of the Faith Scripture Journaling Calendar

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.  Ephesians 6:18

These men and women, through faith, overcame extreme conditions and lived out their faith to the glory of God.


Scripture Journaling:

Remember that Scripture Journaling is  a tool to help you as you develop or deepen in your walk with the Saviour.  This is a time to meditate upon Scriptures, express yourself, seek out truths of the Scripture, and learn how to deepen your walk with God.

  1. Pray for God to speak to you as you read the selected passage that day.
  2. Write out the specific passage of Scripture chosen for that day.
  3. Write any truths of the Scripture that stood out to you.
  4. Write any questions you may have about the passage.
  5. Write how you can apply the passage to your life at this moment.

This can also be used as an heirloom to leave for your children when they are old enough to appreciate the wealth of knowledge you gained from searching the Scriptures.  Have fun, learn, and enjoy!

Plan A by Robin Ogle

Happy January 10th!

We are 10 days in! Are you still on track with all of your “goals” for 2022??? This week’s devo is “Plan A” written by Robin Ogle! God always has a plan! Please take the time to read as Robin shares her heart with us today!  

Plan A – Robin Ogle

Have you ever made a plan? Was there a time you organized an event and it didn’t happen according to your check list? Have you ever face a disappointment after anticipating something? In the middle of the day did circumstance cause you to instantly have to regroup, redirect, and rethink?

 

In the past I tackled these with a sigh and a “OK, let’s go to Plan B”. Sometimes I found by sunset I was looking at Plan W and wondering what I would do next. With each change I pulled up my boot straps, acknowledged this was how God wanted it, and forge ahead with a forced smile, and a deflated, frustrated, tired heart. “What’s gonna happen next? ”, became the big question.

 

Recently, my thinking was adjusted. MY PLAN, ideas, event, or schedule may have be altered- but I realized it was changed to line up with GOD’S PLAN A. Now when there is a snafu, my heart is joyful and excited that NOW the day is going as HE PLANNED. I can embrace the reconfigurations of my life because my great God is constantly revealing His Plan A. No longer do I drudge through Plan C,D, or E. With thankfulness, contentment and peace, I choose to dwell on Plan A.

 

Here are trues to meditate on in order to keep your “Plan A” spirit on track:

 

God meets our needs.

Philippians 4:13,19; Matthew 6:31-33

 

God does what’s best.

Jeremiah 29:11;Romans 8:26-34

 

 

God has control over every situation.

Psalm 103:19; Isaiah 14:27; Isaiah 46:9,10

 

 

God is trustworthy.

2 Timothy 2:13; Psalm 36:5; Numbers 23:19; Deuteronomy 31:8

Ask, Seek, Knock

Ask, Seek, Knock

Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

 

Have you ever sat and pondered why we ask, seek, and knock?

Perhaps we ask for what we want, seek for what we’ve don’t have, and knock on the door that we feel we have no access to. Why? Because our faith isn’t a strong as it should be.

 

Interesting that God repeats these words again in verse 8. His instructions are to ask in faith (James 1:5-8) with the right purpose (James 4:3). When we do, He will open the door.

 

Because we are surrounded by so many distractions in this world, we need to determine to seek God.  When we earnestly pray and seek God’s face according to His will (Deuteronomy 4:29; Jeremiah 29:13), He will hear our pleas and answer our petitions (1 John 5:14).

 

Everyone has the desire to be known and loved.  God also desires to be known and loved by His creation and He richly blesses those who desire a personal relationship with Him.

 

May we sincerely have a desire for a deeper relationship with the Lord this year through fervent prayer and regular seeking the scriptures.  We will not be disappointed. ❄️☃️
