Ep. 168: Uncertainty for Your Future
Wednesday Nov 16, 2022
Wednesday Nov 16, 2022
Devotion on Trust, for Young Women, Psalm 37:3–4. 1 page.
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:3–4 NIV).
Uncertainty is a state that many young women find themselves in. Whether it is a result of schools, relationships, jobs, or concerns for the future, we all find ourselves uncertain of what the future holds. When this uncertainty strikes, as children of God, we can choose to either let it destroy us slowly or we can choose to turn to the Lord Who holds the future in His hands.

Devotion on “Dealing With Down Days” and Trust. Colossians 3:1-4. 2 pages.
If then you have been raised with Christ, see the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is in your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory (Colossians 3:1–4).
The Lord’s plans are always better than our plans. He knows best because He knows us best!

Devotion on Attitude, Christian Life, 1 Corinthians 1:26–29. 1 page.
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God (1 Corinthians 1:26–29).
"I have been guilty of comparing myself to others’ goals, accomplishments, and so much more. I feel as though I need to be a certain someone, to reach a certain goal, before I can be proud of who I am."

Ep. 163: Woven Threads — Devotion
Wednesday Oct 12, 2022
Wednesday Oct 12, 2022
Devotion on Relationship with Others, Spiritual Gifts, Diversity, 1 Peter 4:10.
As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace … (1 Peter 4:10).
Each time a new group of women gather together for Bible studies, meetings, or service projects, a unique tapestry is created. Every woman is created by God with unique gifts and talents, personality, strengths, and weaknesses. When we are woven together as sisters in Christ, we strengthen each other. Woven fabric is stronger than individual threads. The beauty of each individual is enhanced by the overall pattern. We are strong and effective when we support each other, appreciating and encouraging women to use their gifts and talents to serve.

Wednesday Sep 21, 2022
Devotion on Vocation, Ephesians 4:4–6.
There is one body and one Spirit — just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call — one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all (Ephesians 4:4–6).
The church loves to ask young people, “Where is God calling you?” This seemingly simple question of vocation can elicit a wide range of emotions, from insecurity to confidence in your current career.
