WINTER DAYS AND JOYFUL HEARTS

Please note:  there will be no Ladies Bible Study this week because of the Mid-Winter Break for the schools in our area.  Next week we will resume with Chapter 4 on God's omnipotence.

The cold, dark and rainy months of January and February bring a dreariness for many women. Perhaps you have experienced that.  I have long maintained that vigor of soul ignites vibrant life into our daily routine.  So our greatest need isn't to have warmer, brighter days, but, to experience vigor of soul. Just how does that come about?  Only God produces such strength within us.  We all need daily, meaningful time in His word and prayer and thoughtfulness concerning Him. Without these basics for the soul our inner strength dwindles and very quickly this weakness becomes evident even in our physical demeanor.  Don't let a day go by without spending quality time with God; the results will be evident for time and eternity.

Psalm 16:11  "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

Psalm 103:2-5  "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,  who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."
