Do you consider Jesus your friend? Do you go to Him when you have a
problem? Do you let Him comfort you? In John 15:14 - Jesus says, "You
are my friends if you do what I command you." In this Leaving Phase (Walk In Faith, Proverbs 31 Study)...He
is the True Vine and we are being pruned to bear good fruit. We will
go through this season of pruning and leaving...and it can be painful -
but the dead things need to come off and stay off in order for there to
be more room for the good things to come. Remember that even though He
prunes as the Master Gardener- He pulls us in to keep us close. This
weekend - press on, abide in Him, lean into Jesus and be His friend.
This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry. I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well. Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself. Suffer. Fret. That’s what I can do to myself sometimes. I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it. You don’t trust God with it. That’s hard to swallow for me. Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc. But I’m in the Bible every single day. I am a Jesus girl. So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard. UGH. I am getting better about it though. My time with God every morning is helping. When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray. I stop the tormenting in its tracks and give it to Jesus. Now, I may have to give it to Jesus more than once.
