“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Our study writer begins our May study with these words: “This month, as we look at examples of those who used their gifts and talents for God’s glory, open your heart. Ask God to reveal His plan for you as you stretch your heart and your home in His service.”
It’’s time to enter “The Home Stretch.” As Body builders we must take to heart the importance of stretching physically and spiritually. We must get ourselves conditioned to serve the Lord and others. We won’t be able to stretch very far if we’re not heart healthy. That applies both physically and spiritually. Get into the Word. Feed upon it daily. You will become stronger. You will be able to face any challenge set before you.
Today’s verses are ones we may have committed to memory, but, are we putting them into practice? Does He have our whole heart? Do we allow Him to take control and lead our steps?
Those are questions we must settle if we are going to make a difference in our homes and communities.
