โHow to get started reading the Bibleโโweโve all googled it before. No matter how far youโve come on your faith journey, reading the Bible can be hard! Weโre right there with you. We see these Scripture meditations as a way to read Scripture in a digestible way. Letโs start together, one verse at a time!ย ย
God Blessed Me
What joys and blessings have been filling your weeks lately?
Sometimes, itโs hard to see the good things in life. Itโs like our glasses for seeing blessings are foggy. But then there are the times where we just feel really thankful. Our hearts feel overwhelmed by the generosity and goodness God has shown us and we nearly explode, exclaiming, โGod Blessed Me!โ
Maybe youโre feeling the โGod Blessed Me! Mood today, or maybe youโre not. But in this meditation, weโre sitting with that gratitude, and praising God.ย
