Words from Wendy

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are
God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day
long.” – Psalm 25:4-5 NLT

July, with its long days and balmy nights, offers a unique backdrop for reflection, growth, and contemplation. From celebrations of freedom to moments of rest and recreation, this month often invites us to delve into our beliefs, values, and aspirations. The Bible, with its rich tapestry of narratives, poetry, and teachings, has long served as a wellspring of inspiration for each and everyone of us. Hopefully you will be able to spend time with family, friends, nature, and your Bible to dive into your beliefs, values and aspirations.

Here are some Bible verses to look up and reflect on pertaining to each of those concepts mentioned above.

Beliefs - Hebrews 11:1, Romans 10:17, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Galatians 2:20

Values - Colossians 3:23, 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, John 13:34, Romans 13:10

Aspirations - Psalm 37:4, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 16:3, Luke 1:37, Ephesians 3:20.

You see, beliefs are rooted in faith and God’s Word, values are lived out through love and integrity, and aspirations are set in alignment with God’s plans and purposes. These verses encourage us as believers to trust God, love others, and pursue goals that honor Him.

Happy 4th of July and enjoy the month and see you in August.

Peace, SAM Wendy
