I woke up this morning after several snoozes in hopes that my day would be full of adventure. This morning is the start of a men's Bible study at church that has been a longing of several men in our community for quite some time. The women had a desire for a Bible study and they began one last Fall. Since it began, a sense of personal revival has spread across our church thorugh the ladies who have attended. Several husbands have caught a glimpse of this revival and have desired to have a time, too, they could spend together studying God's Word together.
I've learned over the years not to get too excited about something until it has proven it's worth. My prayer for this Bible study is for God to move in this group of men through to bring accountability and revival in each man that attends. I also have a desire and know that it is in God's will for the men to take this time on Saturday mornings to reflect on their life and what impact they are making in their life. Whether it be in their family or at work, I prayer for each individual to have a fire lit in his heart to be open to divine appointments and other interactions with his family and friends that are God-honoring, growth-producing chances to strengthen his soul and mind the way God wants us to be.
Lord, help me to not expect to be served in this setting, but to be an active part of encouraging other men in their walk. Help me to apply what I learn to benefit my life and those I come in contact with throughout my work, family, and rest.
