Good Morning Girlz!!! It's our last one today. I'm already looking forward to our next study! Karlyn, please keep us updated on what the Good Morning Girls do, and I will also be keeping my eyes and ears open to other studies. I've had a few thoughts...Lysa TeKeurst has a 60 day Made to Crave devotional. It is wonderful! I loved it more than the book! Yes, the premise is eating healthy, but the devotionals cross many areas - not just food. That would be a good one, or have y'all ever heard of Sarah Young? She has a few daily devotional books out and one you can even get an app for on your phone. Her stuff is very good. At the end of each day she has about 3 scriptures, so we could still do the SOAP method with her stuff. With Lysa, it might be a little hard to do the SOAP method, but I know we would get some great discussion with Lysa's book. Anyhow, things to think about. I'm up for anything. I have loved doing this!!!
S - and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. But that you also may know about my circumstances, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known to you. I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts. Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
O - I love that last line..."love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love." A love that can not be destroyed. A love that never dies. A love that goes on forever and ever.
A - Does my love for the Lord show? Not all the time. Last night at our Maundy Thursday service the pastor talked a lot about the washing of the feet that Jesus did before the Last Supper. It was an act of service, but also of love. Jesus loved those men. He also loves you and me. I want to love Him back with an incorruptible love!
P - Lord THANK YOU! Thank You for dieing on the cross for my sins and then RISING FROM THE DEAD! Thank You for being ALIVE! Lord, I pray this Easter season that each one of us celebrate You with an incorrubtible love!
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!

Ginny - Ephesians 6:16-17
S - in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
O - Be prepared because Satan will attack!
A - I mentioned yesterday about how Satan does a good job of attacking me in the area of attitude. These verses of spritual battle and be clothed with Jesus armor have really been timely for me. In order to win this battle of atttitude (which I know is a heart issue) I have got to be prepared. This morning I was reading Lysa TerKeurst's blog. I just love her! She writes like we were sitting at her kitchen table talking. Well, today's blog hit home with me in this area of attitude and goes hand in hand with Ephesians 6. Here is a little bit of what she had to say:
“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone,” Colossians 4:6
It outlines how I want to honor God, honor one another, and honor the opportunities entrusted to me each day. I told my team that an easy way to remember this verse is with 3 G’s:
Graceful (full of grace)
Godly (seasoned with God’s truth)
ready to Go (fully prepared to answer everyone)
P - Lord, help me remember Graceful, Godly, Go. Through Your strength, may I see victory in this area.

O - All of my worries and anxiety would be completely taken away each day if I turned towards faith in God instead of faith in myself. That comes from trusting in my salvation and hiding his word in my heart.
A - I've got to use his word like a sword. When frustrations come, stress, worry - I need to get rid of it with the sword. There's so many promises and guidance in his word that I don't utilize every day.
P - Lord give me the ability to memorize your word and retain it and help me to pass that on to the kids. I want to be able to pull out your promises and wisdom when I need it!

Ginny - Ephesians 6:13-15
Good Morning Girlz!!!
S - Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;
O - Put on the armor of God that you may be able to fight the enemy.
A - Girls this is just so important. We can't fight off the enemy if we aren't prepared for battle. Satan has really been attacking my attitude lately. It's one of those deals I feel like I take 1 step forward and 2 steps back. It's frustrating. This verse has reminded me that I must come into the situation fully clothed in the armor of God. If I don't, then I am setting myself up to fail. His Word must be in my heart. His ways must be my priority, and His peace must capture my thoughts.
P - Lord I pray for my attitude. Please help me as I fight the enemy in this area.

Ginny - Ephesians 6:10-12
Good Morning Girlz!!! Hard to believe it's the last week!
S - Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
O - What we are fighting against is not temporal "things" but rather the forces of light & dark.
A - Not that I completely understand this verse, but I do think I grasp it a little better the older I get. When I think of the struggles and challenges I face and I see in this world, it all boils down to we live in a fallen world. Sin runs rampant and Satan is deceiving. Whether it is a problem in our nation's goverment or a personal struggle with a friend; it's a heart issue. Christ is the answer.
P - Lord, keep me ready for battle. Keep me armed and in Your Word ready to fight the true enemy. Lord, I pray for our nation. I pray for our leaders nationally & locally. Lord I pray You put people in their paths that will lead them to You. I pray for their salvation that they may understand the fear of the Lord and govern in wisdom.
