Hope you are have a relaxing weekend and catching up on some well-needed rest. My weekend post today is a further summarization of where we have traveled together thus far. Since some of you have recently joined the group, I hope this brief summary is helpful. (For a more detailed summary, scroll down to the posts on Sept. 25th and 26th.)
First, let me clarify something. All of the verses we have studied were not verses I scrolled through the Bible searching for. To the contrary, they were all verses that the Holy Spirit placed on me. I thought I was at the end of the path we’ve been going down last weekend until Sunday night when the Holy Spirit placed 2 Corinthians 4:18 on me via a testimony by a lady who had just attended her Tres Dias retreat. Her testimony was powerful and centered around the context of 2 Corinthians 4:18 sharing that she has come to a place where she is changing her focus and fixing her eyes on things eternal, not temporary.
So to summarize, the verses we’ve studied thus far clearly point to the eternity of the Word, the fact that the Word (Jesus) came to earth to make his dwelling among us and that our power and our total dependence rest upon Him. I hope you are seeing the progression and connection of these verses as I am.
Next week will journey down a new path. My hope is that we have laid a foundation centered around Christ that we will build from as we move forward in the weeks ahead.
Have a great weekend and I will text you Monday!
