Waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
Before you begin your study in Day 3, take your heart before the Lord and ask Him to reveal what you are carrying that He is asking you to lay aside before you come to Scripture. Invite Jesus to shine His light on whatever emotions, doubts, worries, or sinful passions you are experiencing that are keeping you from God and the building up of your most holy faith.
When completing the personal study on pages 133-141, ask the Holy Spirit each time you sit down, “What do you want me to learn that shows me more about your love for me?”
From Day 2
On Sunday, we examined how we are members of God’s Holy Temple, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus being the Chief Corner Stone (Eph 2:19-22). We acknowledged that no matter our doubts, weaknesses, or failures, we are kept by God, and our faith increases as we spend time in the Word, in prayer, and in community with fellow believers. We “practiced” praying in the Holy Spirit for our sisters in Christ as the Holy Spirit leads us:
in how we speak
in how we live
in how we address God
Digging Deeper
Rosa encouraged us to use these application points (Jude 20-21):
Commit to a regular time of Bible study and prayer, focusing on building your understanding of God’s Word.
Seek out fellowship with other mature Christian women who can support your spiritual growth.
Be discerning about the information you consume and prioritize reliable sources of Christian teaching.
Actively practice acts of love and kindness towards others, reflecting God’s love in your life.
Remember to pray for your sisters to grow in the application point(s) they shared they struggle with the most.
