Keep Circling


Hey all you Circle Makers! Hope you had a great weekend! This week we’re making our way through the final chapters of the Circle Maker.

We are reading chapters 16, 17 and 18.

We can have the best plans in the world, but often we need someone in our corner who is there to remind us. So, I’d like to encourage us to do TWO, yes 2, things this week:

Call a Friend
&
Find an Accountability Partner

Here’s our verse we’re focusing on this week; you can look up in your Bible or click and read here Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

In verse 9, we begin with: “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.”

Now look at WHY two are better than one:
· Verse 10: “If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”
· Verse 11: “Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?”
· Verse 12: “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (So 3 are even better!)

Each line of this passage supports the value of companionship. We were not designed for isolation. We need each other.

Be blessed and be a blessing!

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
