At Thursday's Presbyterian Women gathering, the topic discussed was "kindness." The author (Rev. Eugenia Ann Gamble) of the book being studied emphasized how important it is for us to set priorities—with the top priority being that of living and growing in the fruit of the spirit.
Those attending the group affirmed that making Christ-centered decisions helps anchor their days. One participant said, "When I wake up I right away feel thankful for a new day ... and feel able to face whatever comes my way."
When we seek first the kingdom of God—before we consider doing anything else—we find rewards untold. Even when we, on our own, think we have the answers and the knowledge and wisdom ... do we really? In Proverbs 3:5-6 we read:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
This coming week, why not choose to let the Lord show you the way ... to help you discern what is important ... and to guide your every move? See if this adds more meaning, structure and joy to your life!
