A brand new Bible study was just released yesterday: Pursuit of Proverbs 31. My friend Amy Bayliss wrote this Bible study based on her life experiences and her study of Proverbs 31.
I am so excited about this Bible study, and I wanted to share it with you!
From the Website
Come along and journey with Amy and take a look at the real woman of Proverbs 31. She isn’t as perfect as she seems. In fact, I think she is a lot like you and me.
In Pursuit of Proverbs 31, Amy Bayliss gives you a biblical view of the scriptures that are found tucked away at the end of the book of wisdom. With Southern charm and raw, real emotions she’ll tug at the core of your being. She’ll give you a new perspective and inspire you to pursue Proverbs 31; she’ll inspire you to pursue Jesus.
#1 – What God revealed through His word is that unless our ultimate pursuit is of Him, then we cannot physically accomplish anything and still honor Him… So, I could accomplish my goals and tasks using my own will power, persistence, and ambition but it would not be unto God which defeats the purpose.
#2 – Most of us are, or will be, teachers to someone at some point in our life so we must know how to study the Word.
#3 – Let me tell you something. You do not have to spend an hour in prayer. Nope. You sure don’t. Your life is a dialogue with Him. He hears your every thought and spoken word.
#4 – Although it helps, the effectiveness of you following God’s will does not hinge on whether or not your husband is. God will, and does, honor your obedience. Do not disregard God’s will because you do not actively see the
hand of God working on your husband. That is a job done in the heart and is not always immediately evident by actions.
#5 – We have an awesome power of influence with the words we speak. Let’s make sure they are edifying and wholesome.
#6 – We are God’s masterpieces and He decided long ago what gifts He would give to us and what calling He would place on our lives. Almost everything I have experienced up until now has prepared me for what I am doing
today to reach His people.
#7 – A wise person once said that if you want to get up early in the morning and exercise, you need to make the decision to do so the night before and take action to make it happen by setting the alarm clock. If you don’t, then you will leave yourself open to make the decision not to or perhaps you’ll sleep in the next day relieving yourself of the choice all together.
#8 – Praying for God to meet all of our needs early in the morning is a great place to start. Reading His Word and meditating on it will provide us with a great resource within our very own spirit. This will give us the self-control and desire to work through our microgoals for the day. This also enables us to know more quickly how we should handle or react to certain situations.
#9 – If you have loved and welcomed Christ as your Savior then yes, there is a ministry inside of you. The more you get to know Him and wait on Him, the more He will reveal it to you. It may be from within your home, via the internet, or even through written words. Don’t limit God.
#10 – God’s ways aren’t always comfortable. Sometimes listening to Him can be a bit annoying to our flesh… But, He is always giving us just what we need to accomplish His will and there are no lasting effects when we allow Him to have control. Our life-giving choices bring eternal rewards. He allows us to be a part of His grand plan.
