RML THIS WEEK- God’s Plan

Trust in You by Lauren Daigle is our song of the week. If you can, take a few minutes to listen to this song and the lyrics and journal or just think about the Lord and all he has done for you. What plans have you made that didn’t come through? How would you benefit by putting your trust in the Lord? https://youtu.be/n_aVFVveJNs

Have you ever felt like you were suffering? Have you ever questioned why God would allow you to suffer? Would you believe that God uses suffering to strengthen your faith? One of the best books to answer these questions is The Power of Suffering by John MacAurthur, You can purchase the ebook through Apple Books, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble, or you can buy the book through https://www.gty.org/store/books/452006/the-power-of-suffering . I sincerely hope this book will help you find new insights on how to view suffering in your life as a follower of Christ and truly embrace the positivity in God’s plan for you to become more Christlike.

This week the focus was on God’s plans- If you are looking for a movie to watch that will make you laugh and cry.. The pick this week is nothing new although you may have missed it- OVERCOMER- starring one of my absolute faves Priscilla Shirer. Brought to you by the Kendrick Brothers (Facing the Giants, Fireproof, Courageous). “OVERCOMER dares to leave you filled with hope, inspired to dream, and asks the question: what do you allow to define you?”

While we have devotionals we still like to suggest many others who have come before us! Dr. Tony Evans has great resources on his website including but not limited to devotionals. I love the way his website puts it, “As a pastor, teacher, author and speaker, he serves the body of Christ through his unique ability to communicate complex theological truths through simple, yet profound, illustrations. While addressing the practical issues of today, Dr. Evans is known as a relevant expositor. New and veteran pastors alike regard him as a pastor of pastors and a father in the faith.”https://tonyevans.org/devotional-signup/ or you can get a quick read before signing up at Dr. Evans- One Place
