A Marvelous Journey
As we reach the eleventh month of this great year, let us not take lightly the progress we’ve made. We have come this far not by our strength but through the marvelous works of the Lord and His mercies which endure forever. Psalm 118:23 KJV reminds us that it is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
Reflecting on the Past
The first ten months of this year have brought their challenges, yet they have also been abundant with the goodness of God. Indeed, He has not left Himself without a witness or testimony among us. Acts 14:17 encourages us to recognize His unwavering presence in our lives.
The Focus for November 2024: Walking in Divine Wisdom
This November, we will focus on Walking in Divine Wisdom, drawing from the profound insights of Colossians 4:5 and Ephesians 5:15-16. Throughout this month, by the grace of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will explore:
• Wisdom in Our Interactions: How to engage with others meaningfully and purposefully.
• Seizing Opportunities: Recognizing the precious moments God places in our path.
• Diligence in the Best Use of Our Time: Making every moment count for His glory.
• Seeing Time as a Sacred Trust: Every moment is a gift to use for God’s purpose. Treating time as precious encourages intentional living that honors God.
• Walking in Purpose and Power: With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, live purposefully in every moment, making each day count for the Kingdom of God.
Living for His Purpose
Join us as we delve into the principles of divine wisdom and learn how to best utilize our time on this side of eternity. Let this month be a transformative journey where we cultivate divine wisdom, embrace opportunities, and honor God in every aspect of our lives! [To be continued next week].
