Spiritual Focus - A Summer Essential “I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.” Psalm 119:16 (NIV)
I lead a wonderful weekly Bible Study Group during the school year from September to May. I love the commitment and accountability it brings to my life to stay focused on God’s Word. I also love the new insights that God gives me and the thoughtful discussion with the godly women in my group. It keeps me grounded in an ever-changing world.
Then summer comes and I know I have to make a decision. How am I going to use this break from my regular study to stay focused on the truths“Peace in the Storms of Life” by Julie Rayburn –it goes perfectly with our new Body & Soul® release “Perfect Peace.” What a special way to stay connected with the focus of Body & Soul® and find rich truths that I can share with others to lift them up, as I am lifted up.
How is God guiding you to stay close to him this summer? Do you have a spiritually-focused book on your side table that you haven’t gotten to yet? Will you spend some extra time this summer reading through some of the Body & Soul® Spiritual Resources and checking out some of the YouVersion Bible Studies we recommended that you may have missed? Will you invite a friend or family member to join you in a summer Bible study? I encourage you to start praying now and ask God to guide you to the perfect spiritual focus this summer. His Word will be a lamp for your feet and a light for your path on these warm summer days. (Psalm 119:105 NIV)
“The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
Psalm 119:130 (NIV)
Dear Lord, please guide me in prioritizing time in your word this summer. Show me what you would have me focus on and help me to be faithful in seeking you in your word all summer long. Amen.
