I know many of you have been checking the blog and nothing has been posted for the week! I have to say...I simply forgot! I don't know what happened...my mind has been in a thousand places this past week...and apparently it missed the "I need to write on the blog" stop! So sorry! I will do my best to redeem my scatter-brainness (yes, I know that this is not a word...but it works here!) So let's now get to business...
Our week's chapter title is Extending Love to Family. I am sure that it is pretty safe to say that many of you are like I am in that you love your family tremendously; however, there are moments where loving and being kind are not the easiest processes. A few years back I was taking a Bible study course that taught me a tool to use during trying times. This tool is praying actual scripture over a specific situation. When we pray scripture over a specific person or situation, it takes the bondage that we feel from not being able to control whatever is happening and places the power of that situation into the actual words that God, Himself, spoke. What could repel Satan more than placing power over our hardships into the most powerful physical tool that our world has access to today...God's Word! In this week's chapter, Elizabeth provides us with several powerful scriptures that we can use to pray over the difficulties that we often face in our families. It is important for us to have these scripture on hand (and in our hearts) so that when the need comes, the authority of God's own words can be quickly and powerfully over our loved one's difficult circumstance.
For our blog writing assignment for the week, we are going to be to brag about one member of our extended family. Let's make a practice of building those we love up with our speech, instead of tearing them down. Also, privately, without writing about it on the blog, choose one scripture from Chapter 8 to memorize and pray over a specific situation that you may be going though with a precious family member.
