VERSE OF THE DAY

Matthew 4:8-10 Expanded Bible (EXB)
8 ·Then [Again] the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all their ·splendor [glory]. 9 The devil said, "If you will ·bow [fall] down and worship me, I will give you all these things."
10 Jesus said to him, "·Go away from me [Get out of here; Be gone], Satan![L For] It is written in the Scriptures, 'You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him [Deut. 6:13].'"

When You Need Wisdom




I am still writing and taking part in "A YEAR OF ALWAYS GIVING THANKS: THE JOURNAL OF MY JOURNEY, PART 1." That will not change for the next year and more.

However, I am now working on this for a personal Bible study, but will also turn it into a Bible study I will share in time on this blog.

With everything that's happened, I think I am setting the Romans study to the side for now. I am not in the place to write it right now. I'm far too emotional and would butcher writing the study or in personally taking place in the study. Therefore, I will wait. I need to deal with what is right now--and that is dealing with life challenges and when god has said no or wait.

Let's face it. I am desperate for wisdom. But, I'm not desperate for just any wisdom. I want wisdom that will carry me through every day for the rest of my life. Philippians 4:4-13 is precisely the passage I so desperately need right now--and every day.
