This chapter has also been good to put everything in a visual form to be able to go back and look at the kings, judges, and rulers of the time. It was very interesting to look at how chronologically it is divided…

I too was not good at praying over my family. We pray every night but I found myself just going through the motions. That has since changed and I can tell a huge difference. That lesson also convicted me as I was going through it.

But where I have not ever really been great at is giving God the opportunity to communicate back with me. I have since in the recent months learned the importance of waiting in the presence of God to feel/hear that still small voice speaking back to me. It was interesting to…

Scripture is also the road map for our lives. So many people say “I wish God would just speak to me and tell me what I need to do” and He does. We just have to get into the Word and He will direct us in ALL things.
