CHAPTER 4: FAITHFULLY HIS The Resolution for Women (New Revised Edition) by Priscilla Shirer
“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
“Lay down your own desires. Be obedient to Christ and trust Him. Fully surrender everything to Him.” - Angie
“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
“These are the fruits that grow when you stay rooted in the Spirit.” - Angie
“I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
“Have a spiritual mission to live in purpose. Jesus is the source, the path and the destination..” - Angie
Today God invites you to live a life marked by faithfulness. This is available to you by His spirit and with the guidance and encouragement of His word. No matter what your past has held, this resolution can mark a new beginning.
As you read through the verses, did something stir in your heart? Did you find yourself reading any of them more than once, letting the words sink in? I sure did, and with full faithfulness I believe every single one. I’m even thinking about printing them out and keeping them somewhere I can read them often. What a gift and beautiful reminder these promises are! What assurance, what blessing, what protection, and what amazing grace we have through God. Take a moment to thank Him.
REFLECTION
“And so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest. For He was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire house.”
“Meditate on Jesus and what He means to you as you navigate your faith.” - Angie
“For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.”
“This verse talks about the trails and challenges in our lives. We will be tested, but it should lead us to growing our strength and character. Rely on God and trust Him.” - Angie
“While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.”
“When Jesus was on earth, He experienced human emotions and suffering. Regardless of his situation he kept relying on his Father. He did not lean on privilege, like He could have. Be vulnerable in your prayers, like Jesus was. Bring your worries, doubts, and fears to Him. Cry out. Trust His will over your life. Know that He loves you and He’s always with you.” - Angie
