On this final day of the year, reflect on the last five weeks of reading, remembering Jesus’s first coming and anticipating His promised return. Take time today to pause from the busyness of the season to catch up on your reading, make space for prayer, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
So that at the name of Jesus
every knee will bow—
in heaven and on earth
and under the earth—
and every tongue will confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
—Philippians 2:10–11
Blessings, truth and freedom to you all for another year we have been blessed with. May we see God’s hand in the hard times and lean into him fiercely even when our feelings don’t align.
So many amazing things happened this last year. I gave birth to my second baby girl, and we grew to a family of four. ❤️
Amen!
Happy New Year to all my sisters in Christ! I don’t post on here often, but I read the comments every day. I lift up the She Reads Truth community every day in prayer. Please know that each of you is thought of and loved. Prayers for a safe, healthy, and happy new year praising our Lord and Savior!
Come lord Jesus.
Oh and I also wonder…. Who here did any of the crafts presented in the study book? I made the room spray and gave them as gifts at work ☺️ I still have the supplies for the scarf… order
LIBBY – the next study is The Life of Jesus
On this Grace Day of the SRT community I find I have much to wonder about. I wonder at the way prayers are requested and honored here, behind screens. I wonder at the unwritten comments of pleas, goodness, hardship, struggles, and prayers we know nothing about. I know that most will never know mine. But God knows. Such holy wonder. I wonder… at God’s presence, at the Holy Spirit, and I am filled with wonder at the coming of Jesus, the Word Incarnate. Miracles and wonders given to draw our hearts to God. Beauty to ponder. Awe inspiring wonder. Such holy comfort that He knows. He sees us. And He loves us. He helps us. He guides us as we seek Him. Every knee shall bow and confess that Jesus is Lord. He is above all other kingdoms. Every one. And we who know Him as our Lord are blessed beyond comprehension. So here is my last day to ponder my 2022 word ‘until’ only to be pushed into more unending praise to the One worth wondering at until… Maranatha. So for 2023, I settle on wonder. Wonder. As a noun it means extraordinary, hard to be understood. The word miracle is derived from miror, to wonder. So I think to myself what a wonderful God we serve, He Who created space for me to wonder in. The more time I spend in the ancient scriptures of the Bible, the more I wonder at what was different in the Church during the first thousand years of its existence. After Christmas. After Pentecost. After the Ascension. What was church like then? When the disciples of Jesus were without His physical teaching. I wonder why there is so much confusion within all the different denominations of today. I wonder at the Reformation, and before that the Great Schism. I wonder what Jesus would say today? How would He worship? There must be one way, how could he choose which denomination was the way today? I wonder if the truth can set us free and truly bring unity and one holy catholic church on this side of eternity? Without all the division. I wonder what would happen if one holy revelation could open our eyes to see in the middle of the multitude of different churches. If now would have been the time and Jesus were in the flesh today, where would we find Him? I wonder… Maranatha.
