BY She Reads Truth
This week, as a community, we’d like to pause between plans and refresh the way rhythms we use to read God’s Word. Join us as we dig into some familiar (or not so familiar) pieces of scripture and seek our Father together by reading and processing this truth.
Today’s passage is Luke 6:46-49
First, let’s pray. Ask the Lord to open your heart and your mind and to help you focus on Him. Confess the things that might be keeping you from really truly experiencing His presence and submit your time to His will.
Second, let’s read Truth! Take your time and see what catches your attention. Make notes of what impresses you and moves you. Try to see the whole picture of what the passage is conveying. What does it say about God?
Next, reflect on what He’s saying. What does this passage mean for you and for the body of Christ? Is there anything you feel like He is personally communicating to you for your exact season, situation, or circumstance?
Lastly, let’s respond. Prayerfully and humbly, see what’s next. What do you need to do in light of what you’ve read? How will it affect your day, your life, and your walk with the Lord?
And as always, feel free to share with us in the comments below!
It is our joy to read Truth with you all.

This passage spoke volumes to me today, about how I'm approaching some new opportunities I've been given. I've been living in a growing period of "wait" for a few years, so to have God give me a green light (much less a couple of them), is exciting! I haven't embarked on either yet– one is an internship, and the other an area of interest/study– but I'm realizing how strong a desire I have to "build" not only myself, but both of these opportunities on the Rock. Many times we hold those things back from God (I know I have), our areas of interest, or our jobs. I truly believe these years of waiting and healing were intentional, so I would know that whatever God entrusts me with is also meant to be built on Him as a foundation.

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?” Wow, how sadly true this so often is in my life I cry out to God and I tell him that I love and believe in him. But then I proceed to cringe when he challenges me. When he tells me to dig deeper, I think about all the sweat and work that will go into this. Sometimes I desire to simply build a house on the beach and be comfortable but I know that is not what God has called us to do. I really love this song. It talks about how we could simply sit but “God has called us higher and God has called us deeper.” Its hard but oh man what joy comes from truly seeking the Lord.

In today's newspaper is an article about hurricane preparedness. (I live in Central Florida.) We know storms will come but it's the foundation that is important. So, we build our foundation on being in His word, prayer, listening, and not answer Yes, Sir, but follow the path… love my neighbor, slow to anger, keep my thoughts on Him, being in community, pray continually, Lord, help me to understand and Obey!
Also, last year there were photos of journals, with highlighting, comments, arrows, underlining in the Bible. I loved seeing those and was the start of me keeping a journal of the verses we cover in SRT and situations in my life that perspective and prayer is needed. I hope SRT can add those periodically for continued inspiration.
God bless you this beautiful day!
