God's Story
I saw Rebecca in Walmart about two hours ago and it was a reminder to me that I still had to write on Mentor Moms' Monday.
I am currently in a Bible study on Jonah. It is called "Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted" by Priscilla Shirer. It is my first time doing a study by this author and I am enjoying it so far.
I am writing a section from the book under the subheading of "This is God's Story." It says,
"Your life is God's story being told and His character being displayed. How does your life read? What is your life telling others about the God you serve? As a result of your decisons, do they get to see Him displayed in His best light?
Just as we can see God clearly through Jonah's story, God can and will be seen in ours. As we surrender to divine interventions (or not), each chapter of our lives puts God on display. We can see many characteristics of God in each chapter of Jonah. Jonah 1: God is sovereign. Jonah 2: God is our Deliverer. Jonah 3: God is merciful. Jonah 4: God is righteous."
The author continues with the question of whether God has the title role in the story of our lives and what do others learn about God as they watch the way we live?
Those types of questions are meant to challenge us? Are we up for that type of challenge?
Blessings,
