Oh my. It’s taken a little longer than I expected to write the new devotional for you girls! But the Leadership Council was very busy with all the activities during Spirit Week, and we are so glad that many of you participated! Way to represent!
This week I would like to bring you a list of the bible studies that are being offered in Gillette this semester. Some of your floors may have already met for one bible study already, but you are welcome to join any of the ones listed here if there is something else that sparks your interest:
[Check with your RA about this semester's Bible studies!]
I encourage you to participate in one of these Bible/book studies, or get involved in one elsewhere on or off campus. I know we’re busy and have lots of other work to do, but the importance of knowing the word of God cannot be stressed enough. This is God’s letter to us—a letter of love, of power, of comfort, of healing, of truth. Imagine if you had a pen pal across the ocean whose letters you never opened. How well would you get to know them? Not very.
God’s word is also our spiritual food. We feed our bodies three times a day, often with snacks in between...but we don’t always feed our souls with the same obedience. It gives our hearts something to think about, to strive for, to live off of. “For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12). God’s word is less ordinary than anything out there.
Let’s live by it!
