The “Why” of Reading the Bible

Jenn Jones — Sun, 01 Oct 2023 11:31:02 +0000

As we begin our reading through the New Testament today, I felt it would be a good time to revisit the “Why” of doing so. I have met many women over the years who say they believe in Jesus for salvation, yet have no desire, and make no time to be in the Word of...

What Do You Worship?

Jenn Jones — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Idol worship. It conjures up images of scary-looking statues made of wood or metal. It may make us think of Eastern religions and sacrifices. And while those thoughts are valid and real – more often the idols in our lives look completely different. We read about idol worship in the Old Testament. In fact, the...

Do the Next Thing

Jenn Jones — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 11:19:31 +0000

Let’s admit it. Life can be overwhelming at times. As a professed overthinker, I can succumb to “analysis paralysis”. All of the things I need to do, should do, ought to do, want to do – swirl around in my mind constantly. Often times it may be a season of life where we aren’t sure...

Be Vigilant.

My grandson and I are working on scripture memory as part of our homeschool day. I used to do it regularly, but as with everything, it is very easy to drift away from it. Our first memory verse is Proverbs 4:23 (we are working through verse 26). Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from...

Pursuing a Proverbs 31 Life

Jenn Jones — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 11:03:06 +0000

I have been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be a godly woman who pursues righteousness and the glory of God. It is an intentional, diligent, and continuous effort. It is being vigilant over my heart, mind, and emotions. It means setting myself – my desires, my opinions, my goals – in...

Psalm 71, 94, 1 Kings 3

Jenn Jones — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:59:56 +0000

Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?He who planted the ear, does he not hear?He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?He who teaches man knowledge— the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath. Psalm 94:8-11 The opening verses of the psalm cry out...

Psalm 118; 1 Kings 1-2; Psalm 37

Jenn Jones — Thu, 25 May 2023 10:52:29 +0000

Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers!For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth...

Psalm 114-117

Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol him, all peoples!For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.Praise the Lord! Psalm 117 God chose Israel to be His holy, set-apart nation to make Him known among the nations. I found this note from GotQuestions.org that was very helpful: God’s desire for Israel was that they would go...

Psalm 127, 111-113

Jenn Jones — Tue, 23 May 2023 10:38:16 +0000

Psalms 111 and 112 are interconnected. In Psalm 111 we see a psalm calling the people of God to praise Him for the work and provision of the Lord for them. We read of His great works (v. 2); the splendor and majesty of His work and that His righteousness endures forever (v. 3); He...

1 Chronicles 26-29

King David has spent the last few chapters of 1 Chronicles putting things in order so that Solomon has everything he needs to build the temple for the Lord. We see this wrapped up in chapters 26 and 27 today. David presents Solomon to the leaders and people of Israel as heir to the throne...
