This scripture is one of my favourites.

[Rita | The Modest Introvert @modestIntrovert]

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”
1 Peter 5:7 NLT

This morning’s devotion spoke about the lukewarm church (the church of Laodecia). I would like to do a personal Bible study to truly understand what it means to buy gold refined in fire, white garments and eye salve.

You can read Prophets and Kings via the Mobile app or website for free. The audio version is also available through the app for free.

I’ve made it through 85% of Prophets and Kings. I am looking forward to completing it and reading Desire of Ages. I’m happy to read the Conflict of the Ages Series while following the Chronological You Version Bible Reading plan.

I’ve been listening to Prophets and Kings by Ellen G. White on Audible. https://t.co/wqFl7tbWkb

When I read in the Bible and see in my own life how trials help refine us, I am inclined to believe that the KJV has it right. We tend to remember and rely on God more during tough times.

The King James Version of the Bible says that the ground was cursed for man’s sake (Gen 3:17). This is the first time I’ve read it as “to benefit man” rather than “because of man”. Other Bible translations say “because of man”.

Great Listen: The Story Audio Bible - New International Version, NIV: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People. https://t.co/H3VDNLQqAP

Last year I prayed for an opportunity to learn more about God and His word.

Early this year, I got invited to a Bible class, and recently, I got the opportunity to learn with another Bible study group.

God answers prayers!

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT

I don’t have a natural love for big changes but I’ve grown to understand that it is sometimes necessary. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 usually gives me that boost to move forward.

I still feel uncomfortable from my last ‘no’ (2 days ago).

I did not want to do what was requested, but I also did not want to disappoint someone I respected.

Saying this ‘no’ was almost as uncomfortable as saying yes when I really wanted to say no. 😔

Establishing healthy #boundaries has been one of my biggest wins in 2021. It’s still a work in #progress, but the results so far have been life-changing!

#growth

Everything comes with advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes we have the opportunity to choose; other times, we don’t.

When you aren’t in the position to choose, do your best to focus on the positives.

We encounter so many #distractions daily. Let’s not allow them to take priority over our #goals.

We can do this! We’ve got this.

What steps are you taking towards your goals today? 😃

Have a terrific Tuesday!

[Rita | The Modest Introvert @modestIntrovert]

I am feeling pretty good! I had two goals yesterday and completed both only through a miracle.

God is awesome!

It’s now time to plan for this week. (I’m a bit late today, but this is due to yesterday’s circumstances.)

I hope you’re having a great Sunday! 🤗
