Next up...Esther!

Today ended B.M. study of the Patriarchs. I really enjoyed this study and learned some things I did not know about some pretty common bible stories I've always heard. I thought it interesting to read about the dysfunction in the families and all the deceiving that went on. How so many families today can relate to so many families back then. The story that intrigued me the most though was Joseph's. Theirs so much more to the story then just his dream and coat. I so recommend this study!
Next up...Esther!! Yaaaaa, I can't wait. I've already heard much about it from others who are doing this study. I'm excited to start.

For I am Not Ashamed...

Well, I thought I would blog on wut the Lord showed me while studying Romans 1.
I should probably say that I read the chapter like 6 times in different versions of the Bible and heard a couple messages on it as well.
The first thing God spoke to my heart was on Romans 1:16,

So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ...

I was in church when I heard/read this and I thought to myself, no worries there cuz I am so not ashamed of the gospel, I'm not ashamed of you Lord. It's me and you, not in anyway am I embarrassed right? I was so wrong! A couple days later He showed me that I am ashamed of the gospel when I fear doing the things I believe He shows me or saying things to others that He shows me to speak or pray.

I don't want to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ and I am learning to step out more and not be so afraid to speak the things of God no matter wut that may look like. Paul wasn't. He eagerly preached the gospel so why shouldn't I!
Christ died
For me!
Not so I can abide in fear
But in His love!
And in His love
I am not ashamed!
