Episode 443 // When Delays Become Blessings: Seeing God’s Timing Clearly (“New Year, New Mercies” Devotional and Bible Study)

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 

Today is check-in day. So, let me ask you: 

How's your head? How's your heart? How's your soul?

In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus reminds us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love others as ourselves. But what does it mean to truly love ourselves in light of our relationship with Jesus?

As I reflect on Job’s faith and the friendships that shaped him, I’m reminded that who we spend time with has a profound impact on our lives. And Sis, that includes our relationship with God.

So here’s the challenge: before Friday, take a moment to check in with yourself.

• If your mind feels scattered, maybe it’s time to find a therapist or start journaling.
• If your heart is weary, reach out to a friend for some joy and laughter.
• If your soul feels stagnant, maybe it’s time to dive into Scripture or start that Bible-in-a-year plan (it’s not too late!).

We’re in this together. Let’s walk in the fullness of God’s purpose!

📖 Today's Biblical Affirmation:
“In Christ, I am growing daily. I walk in the fullness of God's purpose, bearing fruit for His glory.”

💡 Today’s Episode Includes:
📖 Scripture Study: 2 Peter 1:5-8 - The power of supplementing our faith with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love.

📝 Devotional Reflection: New Year, New Mercies by Paul Tripp - A call to live beyond the moment and trust God’s eternal plan.

🙏 Prayer: Asking God for the grace to see our time and circumstances through the lens of eternity.
