The Morning After...

...Bible Study Live!!!

Good Morning, OBSers! We’re wrapping up the week and I just want to say Thank You to everyone who joined us for Bible Study Live on Facebook last night.

So catch up on your reading of this week assignment... Gomer (pp. 73-84 in study guide)

Here are a few questions that were posted during last night Bible Study Live! Spend some time journaling your answers.

Before this Bible study had you ever heard about or read Gomer’s story?

Did it shock you to learn that God would ask someone to marry a prostitute? What thoughts raced through you mind as you were reading the story?

Why you think God chose this story to show us a picture of ourselves with Him?

As women we can become champions at covering up and comparing? What are your thoughts?

On page 80, the author lists some of the lessons we learn from Gomer. What is the one lesson that hits home for you and what is God speaking to your heart through Gomer’s story?

Sometimes we subtly, or even overtly, betray who God designed us to be. – Jeanne Stevens

What are some of the things in our lives that can become a “first love” and take God’s place?

Hosea 1:10-2:1 reads…

“Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘children of the living God.’ The people of Judah and the people of Israel will come together; they will appoint one leader and will come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel. “Say of your brothers, ‘My people,’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one.’

What do these words mean for you today?

How has God been faithful to you even when you were unfaithful to Him?

Journal Hosea 1:10-2:1 - God words for His people and put them into your own words – personalize them.

No matter where your story has taken you, you can always come back home. Only God can heal your pain. – Jeanne Stevens

We made it to the end of Week 2 - #OBS #12Women #12Women-CCMV!

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Cheryl

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 ...
