BE IN THE WORD (this week’s verses):
I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born. (Isaiah 66:9)
God is my defender; He rescues those who are pure in heart. (Psalm 7)
But me? I will sing of your strength. I will awake with the sun to sing of your loving mercy because in my most troubled hour, you defended me. You were my shelter. (Psalm 59)
You should rejoice greatly in what’s waiting for you, even if for a little while you have to suffer various trials. (1 Peter 1:6)
…use our powerful God-tools for smashing down warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
BE DOERS, NOT JUST HEARERS (practical application):
1. Be Still. We take the time to Be Still. If you break down Psalm 46:10 according to Hebrew meanings, another way to say Be Still and Know that I am God is this: “Stop striving. Instead, sink down, let go and relax. Learn to know He is God by experience.” We will not survive any of these crawling seasons if we don’t first know that He is God — and know His character, His virtues and His love for us.
2. Pray. Press into God and seek His face sink into His strength in order to make it through TODAY.
3. Gather. Get people around you who can pray, support, cover and love you…people who have crawled and know how to pray and how to support you.
BE TWEETERS (ready made tweets, just click to tweet):
God is more concerned with your character than your calling.
The timespan of our crawling is not near as important as our mindset during it.
BE TOGETHER (creating discussion in the comments, bottom right tab!):

BE EDUCATED (additional resources):
1. The In-Between by Jeff Goins. This book is a call for all of us to accept the importance that waiting plays in our lives. In this spiritual memoir, Jeff Goins reveals the unexpected good that came from his times of waiting.And he encourages us to embrace the extraordinary nature of the ordinary and enjoy the daily mundane, what lies in between the “major” moments.
