Sowing Spiritual Encouragement

The Super Simple Spiritual Sunday Meme is simply a list of my favorite finds this week (I thought this was so original but I found out its called Speedlinking)

1. Where Thers’s A Will, There’s A Way! by Nancy Campbell at Above Rubies – Before children came along I would rise at 5.00 am and spend three hours reading the Word and praying before I started each day. I would write pages of revelation as God showed me wondrous things in His precious word. I still have these hard-covered notebooks. But when I entered the new adventure of motherhood, I could no longer find that time. What could I do now? …
2. Covert Spiritual Warfare by Teresa at In Jesus – The Lord showed me something important about spiritual warfare yesterday. He did it through a series of experiences that I am guessing you will relate to. He wanted me to pass this on to you, to make you are aware of one of the dev*l’s schemes against you…
3. Decreasing is Key to Growth by Viki at Windows to my Soul – Someone asked me about spiritual growth. What does it look like? How can we know if we’re really growing? Funny, but if we think about it, even the questions imply some preoccupation with self. When it comes to spiritual maturity…
4. The Approval of God -Men and women of faith have always yearned for the approval of God. I am no exception. We try to gain His approval through righteous acts, piety, and religious expression. We build beautiful buildings in His honor. Our spiritual leaders speak eloquent messages teaching us the way to God. Many of us try to become perfect…
5. Journaling – Gateway to Joy – One of the reasons Elisabeth Elliot has left such a legacy of faith is because she wrote down what God was telling her over the years. Insights, verses, quotes from others, are all sprinkled throughout a lifetime of journals that she’s kept….
6. God is First in Everything by Rebecca at A Walk in the Valley – “You shall have no other gods before me.” Did you ever stop to consider why this commandment comes first? Perhaps because of the seriousness of it all – I don’t believe God does anything by accident and He wanted to make it perfectly clear that He is to come first in everything we do – everything. Putting anything in life before God is a sin. He wants our main focus to be Him and in order to survive in this vicious world it really needs to be…
7. Light in the Dark Valley by me – Every time I face a trial that seems devastating, God is working out a plan for good in me and others. Under the surface-so much is going on, an ocean of wonderful, marvelous work, designs, and plans we cannot see. How many times does it take to remember to rejoice in trials? Apparently several more for thick-heads like me…
