Discussion was short this week because of an extra long
video to watch. Still, the discussion
was powerful as we talked about our “$500 stories” – those are the testimonies
you share with others to encourage their perseverance. They’re the stories we need to remind
ourselves of when times get tough! Keep
a journal of these stories for those dark moments that you need to be reminded
that God is alive and active in your life!
The Session 3 Video was packed with great encouragement even
though wilderness journeys are inevitable.
Priscilla called us to obey Moses’ teaching to Be fearless, stand firm,
watch and be silent. My viewer guide has
so many notes scribbled all over them.
Here is a sampling of what I wrote:
Still, my favorite part of the video teaching was the prayer
at the end of the session.
Our personal study time led us to consider miracles. How do you define a “miracle”? Is it deliverance? Is it provision? How are you being refreshed on your
wilderness journey? There are oases on
the path to the promised land, even if you’re taking another lap around the
wilderness.
Have you embraced the fact that God’s best for us is best,
regardless of whether it is what we would have chosen as best for us? Do you tend to complain or cry out to God
when things don’t go your way? Do you
take the time to apply the lessons God is teaching you to your life? What sort of things draw your focus: the negative
or the positive (Philippians 4:4-8)?
