The weeks are flying by and today is another Monday so that means it's time to think about what lingers from our Cover to Cover readings of the Bible chronologically.
This week we are reading Judges. Here are of the main things that stood out to me.
Judges 2:10-11
After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel. Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals.
Lord, I hope my kids know that the only way I can have true joy in life is by what You have done and continue to do in my life. I have seen you do miracles, so please help me remember to always give You the credit and the glory. They will not know this if I don't tell them.
Judges 17:6
In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.
Lord, thank you for being the boss over me. My life would be utter chaos if I didn't have You and I did what I saw fit. Help me to keep believing this and trust that Your ways are better than mine! I am grateful that I have You!
I look forward to your insights. I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Angie

Oh that is the cry of my heart as well! I am so proud of you for sticking with your readings. I have fallen behind the program but I am still in the Word. Like you said, I can't imagine going through my day without Him and His guidance!
Happy birthday to your brother! I always wanted to have a brother but God had other plans (a sister who drives me NUTS, LOL). My mom says, "there has to be some reason He gave her to us!" HA!
Have a great week, I am so glad you posted, I love keeping up with you!
Blessings to you,
Kelley
Ang,
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Memories are God's way of easing our sorrow.
I check in with your blog from time to time. You are such a blessing,

Making sure those that come behind me know about the Lord's faithfulness in my life struck me as well this past week! I need to speak about it more often and not assume they are "seeing/getting" it.
So many thoughts swirling around in my heart--such a great responsibility we have to pass on the torch to the next generation. We can't take anything for granted, like 'nise said. Love you, sister. Annette
Hey girl...
I love reading your thoughts....knowing that God is the authority over my life...makes it so much easier. I spent too many years of no authority and it was just too hard and didn't work.
I'm taking Jesus any day over nothing.
Blessings~

Those two verses stuck with me as well...
I love your tender prayers related to each verse...I believe we are a fellowship of parents that have such a burden for this next generation...
Thank you Angie and have a very blessed and joyful week,
Helen
