Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. — James 4:7-8
Saturday morning during our women's retreat, Sara spoke about flips-flops as readiness and responsiveness to God.
We slip them on before we run out to put the trash cans on the street or to make a quick trip to the grocery story.
Sara unpacked the Beatitudes and gave us some new food for thought about these familiar verses.
She reminded us that the dictionary defines
meek as "enduring injury with patience and without resentment."
We often try to do things through our own strength. But when we draw closer to God, His strength flows through us.
Come near to God.
