Glory in Him: Women's Fall Fellowship

Women's Fall Fellowship

Last night we had our church’s Women’s Fall Fellowship. Our theme verse was Lamentations 3:23(b) …great is Thy faithfulness. Our desire was to focus on the faithfulness of Our Almighty God. In these times of great turmoil, unrest and uncertainty it is much needed to refocus and regroup and realize that God is still on the throne. We read out of Psalm 33 and where uplifted by the Word of God.

Some points to ponder from Psalm 33:

v. 4 – For the Word of the LORD is right; and all His works are done in truth.

v. 5 – He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

v. 6 – By the Word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

v. 7 – He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: He layeth up the depth in storehouses.

vv. 18-19 – Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

vv. 20-22 – Our soul waiteth for the LORD: He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in Thee.

We focused upon God’s Word being right and true. God’s Word stands the test of time. Heaven and earth will pass away, but God’s Word will stand and will accomplish that which He sent it out for. The LORD showed us how “He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap” – How big is our God? Is He bigger than our problems, whatever they may be? Our Hope needs to be upon the LORD creator of heaven and earth.

Worship was sweet. God met us all in a special way. God is doing a mighty work in all our women – Praise Jesus!

Psalm 106:1-2 – Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can show forth all His praise?

We had a time of sharing, giving testimony to God’s faithfulness.

We all had such a wonderful time that we simply didn’t want to leave. Reminded me of Psalm 133:1, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Blessed Time!!!

Hope your Fall season is filled with the Lord.

It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
