Israel, put your hope in the LORD.
For there is faithful love with the LORD,
and with him is redemption in abundance.

ERB thank you for sharing these wonderful insights and knowledge! And happy belated birthday Martha Hix!!
Where do we put our hope? It has to be in the Lord! Everyone else will disappoint us but God. He is faithful to love us!
My heart is full. Thank you @ ERB for the prayer filled recap! Amen and Amen. @TINA beautiful prayer @SEARCHING I had a similar thought yesterday on the saints who gather here in spirit to worship, but you said it perfectly! How sweet to read each sharing of praise. @ Kelly (NEO) Abundance indeed! Praying for MIA FAITH, CAROLINE BRIDGES, LIBBY K, COLLEEN DEVEAU, LAUREN W, MERCY, CHERYL BLOW! You are loved and remembered ❤️ Have a blessed weekend SHE’s!
Happy BIRTHDAY Martha HIX!! I don’t know how I missed it and hope you had a beautiful day! ENJOYED this wonderful and platform of this study. YOU mean SO much to me and can’t wait to give you all a huge hug someday! Happy Saturday sweet she’s! Heading out on a long run/walk with my sweet friend! Please pray for wisdom as we walk and pray as there’s lots going on. Its going to be a HOT one today of 106 degrees, so we need to start a little earlier, but looking forward to the park we are going to as there’s lots of trees, shade, but most of all enjoy God’s wonderful creation!
Forgot to say I love today’s verse!
HOPE – We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. Psalm 33:20
LOVE – But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands. Deut. 5:10.
REDEMPTION – With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever. Hebrews 9:12. Scriptures quoted from NLT.
Keeping your prayers in my heart, sisters! So thankful for each of you! Love you all! ❤
Thank you, SEARCHING, for mentioning the song, Worthy of it All! I listened to a couple of versions. I don’t remember ever hearing it on any of the 3 stations I listen to! Beautiful song so thanks again for sharing! It also reminded me of a song I used to hear often and have not heard in a while. It took me a while to find it. Lyrics below.
CAROLINE BRIDGES – I don’t usually read comments on videos I play on youtube, but I saw the first few words on one that made me think of your comment yesterday! I tried to copy it to paste here but no go. Basically the commenter shared how she/he misunderstood – thinking there was a certain structure to praying and spending time with God- totally missing what intimacy with God is like and thinking God didn’t love them because they weren’t doing it right. The commenter credited this song and a couple of others for their ‘breakthrough’. ❤
Reign Above It All (Live)
Song by
Bethel Music, Paul McClure
The reign of darkness now has ended
In the kingdom of light
In the kingdom of light
Forever under Your dominion
You’re the King of my life
You’re the King of my life
You reign above it all
You reign above it all
Over the universe
And over every heart
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all
On the cross, the work was finished
God, You poured out Your life
Just to give us new life
Now from the lips of the forgiven
Hear an anthem arise
‘Cause Jesus You’re alive, oh
You reign above it all
You reign above it all
Over the universe
And over every heart
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all
Let all of heaven and the earth erupt in song
Sing Hallelujah to the Everlasting One
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all
Yes, You reign above it all
You sent the darkness running
Out of an empty grave
Now seated alone in glory
Enthroned on the highest praise
You sent the darkness running
Out of an empty grave
Now seated alone in glory
Enthroned on the highest praise
You sent the darkness running
Out of an empty grave
Now seated alone in glory
Enthroned on the highest praise
You sent the darkness running
Out of an empty grave
Now seated alone in glory
Enthroned on the highest praise
You sent the darkness running
Out of an empty grave
Now seated alone in glory
Enthroned on the highest praise
You sent the darkness running
Out of an empty grave
Now seated alone in glory
Enthroned on the highest praise
You reign above it all
You reign above it all
Over the universe
And over every heart
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all
Let all of heaven and the earth erupt in song
Sing Hallelujah to the Everlasting One
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all
You reign above it all
Yes, You reign above it all
Yeah, You reign above it all
Yes, You reign above it all
High and lifted up
You reign above it all
Yes, You do
You reign (Come on, sing it)
You reign above it all
You reign above it all
Over the universe
And over every heart
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all
Let all of heaven and the earth erupt in song
Sing Hallelujah to the Everlasting One
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all

Amen Rhonda!!!
GM She’s! Happy Saturday/Weekend!!
I have group this morning! The lesson today is facing the Giant of Low Self-Image and replacing it with Confidence! It is an easy subject to talk about at this point after leading the last 3 groups and building my own lack of confidence. I know that if my love for God shines through, and my heart is in the right place it will be okay. It doesn’t necessarily make you a good leader or teacher, BUT GOD, even if I fail, my identity is IN HIM! I don’t aim to please and be something that I’m not, I let the Holy Spirit work in me. I feel like if he gave me the desire or revealed the path, then He will pave the way. Not always easy, but getting over myself is the biggest obstacle. I am enough, I am equipped, I am strong, I am courageous! Let me at em….I’m ready! I am Gideon, not feeling strong and able in my own strength, but In MY GOD! I love how God took down his army, so the win could only come from the miracle of God himself! He wants the Glory, my all we do point to Him dear sisters. He will enable you, you are enough..but point it all back to him. All the prayers we share here…lets give the Praise to all the answered prayers to our wonder working God! He is worthy of it all!! Love that song, thanks for sharing Searching!
My hope and Faith is in the Lord and with him is redemption in abundance!! So good!
Hugs to you all!
Good Morning Rhonda J.
Go forth.
Faithful.
Fortified.
Fearless.
Full of Grace.
For His Glory!
Yes! Amen! Thank you Gweneth!! I always love you poem-like comments/words of encouragement!
❤
Amen thank You for shout faithful love Lord God!
Amen
❤️
To the Shes praying for a surgery yesterday, your resident therapist here tapping in with a prayer for their rehabilitation following surgery. To Mercy and Caroline may the Lord give you strength to endure, we can rest in the hope that when we come to the end of our rope that Jesus is there with his big ole net saying ,”dear child, let go, I’ve been waiting to carry you”.
Today, after a full month of fence building, my husband and I are taking a break to go to the lake! Im praying to channel my weaned child sitting with the father today.
Amen!
Redemption in abundance
=
Jesus’ blood poured out at the cross
=
My sins, your sins, all sin covered when we surrender to Him
=
Abundance indeed! How much more could He give?

Recap of the week’s scriptures & notes..
May EACH of you feel, see and be blessed by the Glory, Presence & closeness of God! He is SO Good to us!! Xoxo

Psalm 134:1-3
*thank You Lord for blessing us, may we BLESS YOU Father in all that we do, think and say!! Let us praise You in and through ALL things!! Help us love You Lord the way You LOVE us!! Let us stand up with and for You, help us be holy and righteous, and let us dwell with You in Your Presence forever. Amen.
-21st
Psalm 133:1-2
*Unity is precious and anointed. I love the analogy of the oil being poured on the head, like the woman anointing Jesus’ feet with precious oil before He died. Preparation.. SO many connections happening in my head and heart right now, wow!!! Thank You Lord!! Amen.

Psalm 132:2-5 (NLT) “We must live so close to God that we become restless until God’s will is accomplished through us.”
*Wow!! SOOO Good!!! Let this be so in my life Lord!! Amen.
—
Psalm 132:14
*Zion. God’s resting place and home is Zion. I wanted to look this up and research it further so I went to the website: Bible Study Tools, subject: what is Zion and why is it important? Hopefully you’ll be able to find the article.. if not I posted it on the SRT She’s Facebook page..
It gave a history of many important & significant events that happened on Zion before it was Zion.. like where Abraham offered up Isaac in sacrifice, where Jacob had his dream of climbing to Heaven, where David purchased a threshing floor and made atoning sacrifice for his sin, where Solomon built the temple.. there is SO much depth in each of these events, what they represent and how they prepared the way for The Foundation (God), to right now and all that is happening both physically and spiritually in the world!! It really blows my mind!!! Wow!!! …if you don’t want to read the whole article (which is super good and enlightening, if you have time) then here is what I highlighted from it…
“Zion is the essence, foreshadowing, and symbolism of the Kingdom of Heaven. Zion is our place of refuge, protection, and communion with God. From Zion, all God’s children can obtain an intimate, sacred view of the Almighty—as He was, as He is, and as He will be. Jesus is the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant that transformed Mount Zion into an eternal city. And on Mount Zion, we will live in His Holy presence forever.
*Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Today, Christians have the privilege and honor of dwelling in Zion which is the Kingdom of Heaven or God’s presence—through the blood of Jesus that was shed for us on Calvary. But our present, glorious walk in Zion is nothing compared to the future glory that will be revealed. Now, we witness Zion from an incomplete vantage point. As “through a glass, darkly.”
A day is coming when we will enjoy the fullness of God’s presence when we see Him “face to face” in the eternal Zion.” -Annette Marie Griffin
**May we choose to dwell in His Presence now and forever. And may we desire God the way He desires us!! Amen.

Psalm 131:1-3
*I wish I didn’t participate with or have haughty aka arrogant pride, but I know I do.. I wish I didn’t get involved with things (too great & wondrous) that are God’s business not mine, but I do!! It saddens me that, even though I know these things are wrong I still give in to the temptation of participating with them!! I want ALL of me to be so focused on God that I no longer have the desire to give in to these things.. Father please help me and forgive me. Calm my soul and help me to be content with what You give and allow, help me put my ALL into You alone.. faith, hope, trust & love. Let my life be a real and living reflection of You and who You are!! Amen.
-18th

Psalm 130:1-2
*Yes, Lord!! Out of the depths I call to You!! I know You are attentive and hear my voice, You are SO faithful and gracious!! Help me to live out and TRUST what I know. My faith is strong yet weak at the same time.. help me be consistent. Thank You Father! Amen.
—
Psalm 130:4-7
*Wow!! Such a timely and needed word for me!! Help me to WAIT on You alone Lord, help me to place my FULL & COMPLETE trust and hope in You!! Let me REVERE You for who you are and ALL that You’ve done and are doing!!! Thank You Lord, amen.

Thank you❣️
Wow Erb! This is so beautiful, helpful and inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
❤
Thank you, ERB!
WOW Erb! This is so good. Thank you for this. Hugs and blessings to you! ❤️
Just catching up on all the comments from yesterday – ❤️ love you ladies!
Mercy – will be praying for your husband’s coworker this morning and your family as you endure this emotional season. ❤️
Sisters!! Praying, praising and thanking our Awesome God for every comment and reply yesterday, 187 as of now on the website! Can you imagine if we had been gathered in one place, talking over each other at times as we shared all the ways we feel led to praise Him, and learned the similarities and differences in our worship styles? Seeing that it is ok to worship as our hearts lead, whether dancing as David did (and TINA, CEE GEE, GRAMSIESUE and others do, and is that JULIA C joining in?) or kneeling in prayer with tears streaming in worship and thankfulness? As we shared things we were each thankful for, and with those shares, being reminded of things for which we can also be thankful?

Thankful for each of you, sisters, so thankful. ❤️

MARTHA HIX – happy belated 75th!
MERCY – praying for Matt, his family, friends, coworkers, searchers. Love and hugs to you sister in these hard days.
CAROLINE BRIDGES – praying, little sister, thankful for your faithfulness in studying with us!
RHONDA J – good comment, especially discernment in who and what we listen to. If there’s any question in my heart or mind, I go to God’s word to see whether it supports the word or action.
ANNA LEONOR – just seeing your post, praying all went well and for a smooth recovery for your dad
LIBBY K – praying as you continue in handling the tasks needed and so sorry to hear about your father-in-law’s passing. May the Lord comfort and strengthen you through the physical heartache and pain of the grief. ❤️
COLLEEN DEVEAU – praying for your mom
ARLENE – praying, sister.
CHERI – praying for your friend after yesterday’s surgery

MICHELLE P and others – please know that I was laughing and not the least bit offended your “older” comment, remembering when I thought the same way! Love you! ❤️
Aw thank you for clarifying – I know people can be sensitive about age and I felt the Holy Spirit caution me when I wrote that about my parents. My dad is on a lot of heart medication so he has talked before about the idea of him not being around. He’s had two strokes and a heart attack already in the past two decades. So I was mainly thinking of this when Tina shared her story the other day. I pray God keeps my parents much longer than their 60s – His will ❤️ Glad you are understanding, Searching. I appreciate you. ❤️
Oh wow, what a wonderful vision that is! Can you imagine it…all of us in that room! And then sharing and talking and praising, how beautiful that would be! SRT is definitely an amazing community! I’ve never seen anything like it!
I’ve noticed an increase on the comments and I love the engagement! I love it too!
Wonderful wrap-up on yesterday and ,oh, yes, for all of us to be gathered in person! What joy! I was commenting to my husband about the high number of comments we’ve had. Awesome! Love you and your wise and insightful shares! You are a blessing, dear sister! ❤
❤ agreeing with your prayers! I enjoyed hearing that song – don’t remember hearing it before! Of course, I was swaying with hands raised! He is worthy of so much more than my litiful offering! ❤
The MSG Says it this way..
O Israel, wait and watch for God— with God’s arrival comes love, with God’s arrival comes generous redemption. No doubt about it—he’ll redeem Israel, buy back Israel from captivity to sin.
I will put my name in place of Israel, this morning for I know the promises He made to them… He makes to me..
O TINA, wait and watch for God, He is never late— with God’s arrival comes love, a whole heap, more than you can imagine, with God’s arrival comes generous redemption, overwhelming, pure and true. You will know redemption on His arrival. No doubt about it—he’ll redeem you, TINA, Father God, will pay your debts, and buy you back Tina, from all the sins, and what has held you captive. You will not be in captivity to sin… anymore..
Praising Him, Father God,from whom all blessings flow.. What a blessing to know that I am bought and brought back to the One who loves me so so very much, in whom there is freedom hope and love, always..
BUT GOD.
AMEN.
Happy Saturday dear hearts, so wrapped in love hugs and prayers for a God blessed day for you all..❤️
My index finger has done its exercise for the day! I have been scrolling responding to all messages from yesterday… oh what a joy, it is to be able to do that!
THANK YOU TECH TEAM SO VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. MWAH!
Yes, TINA, Amen and Hallelujah! How blessed, loved and protected we are as children of the one and only Most High God of all.

Listening to Worthy Of It All this morning.
—
All the saints and angels
They bow before Your throne
All the elders cast their crowns
Before the Lamb of God and sing
—
You’re worthy of it all
You’re worthy of it all
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory
Thank you kindly, Dear Searching, for the praiseworthy prompt:
I scurried to listen to CeCe Winans singing “Worthy of it All” on a live recording. That woman can sure sing about her Savior!
Amen on all! Yes,GOD BLESS THE TECH TEAM! ❤ Thak you, Tina, for the blessing you are each day with your precious and insightful shares! Love and hugs from across the pond! ❤
