It’s Saturday and the perfect opportunity to reflect and put the week (or maybe even life) in perspective. Each day, we take care of our minds, our bodies, and our souls. How many times can we honestly say we take time to prune negative mindsets or beliefs hindering our walk with God?
How often do you care for your Spirit?
I’ll share a few questions we can all reflect on each week. My hope is that we’ll uncover something to lay at the father’s feet; something to uproot and replace with God’s truth.
Communities are about giving too. Do you freely use your gifts with your community? Why or Why not? What are your barriers to using God-given gifts to benefit the body of Christ?
After reflecting, is there something that you’ve discovered that needs to be released to the Lord?
Take a moment to pray and surrender it at Jesus’ feet. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to truth in the Lord’s word. Embrace God’s divine wisdom and thank Him for being present in every situation, past, and future.

The passage illustrates the importance of being a beacon of light in dim, dark places, as guided by Luke 11:33-36. One must not let comfort lead to dulled awareness, but instead consciously illuminate one’s environment. It urges self-reflection on how one’s personal light can lead others towards embracing Jesus.
The Lord’s Prayer 11 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone
The Beatitudes 20 And He raised His eyes toward His disciples and began saying, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your
I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination. In this passage, we find Jesus as a child, so focused on His Father’s business that he wanders off from his parents. In my own life, I’ve found that I’m not prone to wander towards my father’s business….but away from it.
If you or someone close to you is in need, we would be honored to lift you up in prayer. We believe in the power of prayer to bring peace, comfort, and reassurance during times of hardship. Our community is ready to join together and pray as we trust in God’s love and unending grace.
