Week 6 Discussion Question

Hey Ladies...

Here is our blog question for the week!

"Describe a moment when you knew God had strategically timed something you read or heard."

This one may take some thought...it will for me as well. I hope that some of you can relate to this question and will feel comfortable sharing how God moved strategically in your life!!

Love ya,
Macki

i can recall many times hearing a sermon, or someone speaking and thought that wow they are speaking dirrectly to me!! last monday we talked alot about perfectionism! which i shared has been a constant struggle for me .Pastor Scott sermon a while back was on perfectionism , and the whole time he was speaking i could see him saying my name !! looking right at me !! i thought he might have come up with his sermon because of me ! i was having a hamman moment thinking it was all about me !!! anyways it really spoke to me , like Jan , and Tiffany said also it robes me of the things that are on Gods agenda for me because im so busy with my list, my i have to accomplish this or ????? ok. one more thing !!! :) while reading my bible study the other day i was obsessing over a purse !! imbarrasing to admit , i thought i needed, deserved it , but did not get it, it was overcoming my thoughts! then the verse i read hit me like a ton of bricks !!!! ROMANS 8:32 . the Lord gave up his own son for me !! also this verse sais graciosly not also will he give us all things !! wow ! i felt like a unworthy little maggot ! i am blessed with so much ! i have all i need ! yet still worried about a purse i cant have !! God strategically timed this verse for me at this very time

I honestly believe that this Bible study, right now, how been especially for me!!! Each week, I leave with a conviction in my spirit that cannot be shaken. It has given me such clarity amidst many, many trials over the past weeks. God seems to be always sifting me...and as soon as He thinks "well maybe she's getting it" and starts to let up...I fall back into my same ole traps of bondage. I have just learned that I would rather live through constant sifting than have God leave me the way that I was! This Esther study has definitely been a serious sifting for me...but thank goodness He cares about me enough to sift me!
