DAY 32: "The Weakest Link" by Tami Scott

DAY THIRTY-TWO: “The Weakest Link” by Tami Scott

I’ve done a number of Bible studies over the years ~ some with just ladies and some with my husband in a life group, but most of them only partially completed. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve attended every meeting ever scheduled.

Once we become believers, we find that walking with God takes quite a bit of work. Starting a new Bible study is easy and exciting. It’s sticking with it and finishing that’s the hard part.

God desires to have a relationship with us. I’ll be honest with you ~ if given the chance, I’ll take the easy way out on just about anything. I’ll be the first to admit I have a tendency to spread myself too thin and in the end my study time and prayer time with God are greatly affected because of the choices I’ve made. I’ve come to the realization though, that the only path to true fulfillment is to be completely His. If I truly want that relationship with God, then why wouldn’t I do all I can to learn more about Him?

This past Sunday, Kevin made reference to two things in his sermon. One was, “It’s time to step it up!” I highly doubt he was talking to me, but he does have this way about him that makes you feel that way. The second thing he mentioned was about not being passive. I have taught elementary school for 16 years and that’s the one thing you will constantly hear me say in my classroom, “Be active, not passive.” It’s amazing that I can go over this day in and day out with my students yet find difficulty in following through with it myself. I’m always encouraging my students to be active learners and search for the answers instead of allowing the same ones to always do all the work. In the end when I come to lifegroup without the lessons read or my homework done, isn’t that exactly what I’m doing? Being passive.

I praise God each day for bringing my family to Trace Crossing a year and a half ago. I am so thankful for the friendships that were redeveloped and for the new ones that have been and are still being formed.

We are all on the same team, His team. Thank you to my lifegroup for always being an encourager to me as well as others. Susan B. I appreciate you looking me in the eye and saying, “You’ll only get out of this study what you put into it.” I love you girl! Thank you to my dear friend, Jennie Lee, who will keep me straight when Babylon has me so confused!

As Beth Moore stated at the beginning of this study . . . Continually ask God to grant you “the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.” Ephesians 1:17

Alright friends, it’s time to step it up. I refuse to be the weakest link! How about you?

My prayer for Trace Crossing:
Dear Father God, I thank you for this awesome faith family at Trace Crossing. Please continue to guide us so that we may be encouragers to others. I ask that you grant us depth of wisdom and understanding so that we can build that relationship that you long for us to have with you. In Your name I pray, Amen
