What do you do when things just don't go the way that you planned?  Keeping our eyes on His will allows for a beautiful flexibility that we need every day. Today we look at some examples from the Bible of biblical flexibility.   References: Numbers 9:15-23; Luke 22:42; James 4:13-15; Acts 8:5-8, 26-40; Philippians 2:14-17   Contact us: [email protected] [email protected] https://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

Today, we are talking about food. You may have heard of the "Make America Healthy Again" movement.

Psalm 119:157 – “Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not swerve from your testimonies.” Today, we have such great reminders from God's Word on how we can stay the course and be women who know His testimonies and precepts, so that we will not be moved by things the world throws at us.   References:  Psalm 119:23; Psalm 119:51; Psalm 119:69; Psalm 119:78; Psalm 119:84; Psalm 119:86; Psalm 119:110; Psalm 119:122; Psalm 119:157; Psalm 119:161; Ephesians 4:32   Contact us: [email protected] [email protected] https://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

Psalm 119:107 – “I am severely afflicted; give me life, O Lord, according to your word!” No one likes the word affliction, but it is just a fact of life. The Word says it is LIFE and is GOOD.

"I am yours; save me for I have sought your precepts." Psalm 119:94 Too many times do we let questions about who we are affect us.  God's Word tells us exactly who we are.

A companion can be anything you spend time with, but do we ensure we are companions to the right things?  Psalm 119:63 says, “I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts.”  Today, Amy is joined by Becca to talk about the best companionship we can have.   References:  Proverbs 13:20; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Proverbs 27:17; Psalm 25:14; Hebrews 3:13; Hebrews 10:24-25   Resources: Do What God Already Told You To Do https://atheycreek.com/teachings/s2-560   Contact us: [email protected] [email protected] https://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

God values life; our world not so much!  Today is a heavy topic, but an important one, as Amy looks at how our culture is progressing in its devaluation of life from beginning to end.

Our Bible Bite episodes will follow along, with Amy choosing a verse or section from that week’s reading to explore on a deeper level. Today, we look at Proverbs 31 as Amy dives into some sweet advice for us from a biblical mom.    Proverbs 31:1-9 "The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him. Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!    Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers! Do not spend your strength[a] on women,    your vigor on those who ruin kings. It is not for kings, Lemuel—    it is not for kings to drink wine,    not for rulers to crave beer, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,    and deprive all the oppressed of their rights. Let beer be for those who are perishing,    wine for those who are in anguish! Let them drink and forget their poverty    and remember their misery no more. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,    for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly;    defend the rights of the poor and needy."   References:  Proverbs 31:1-9; Proverbs 14:15; Proverbs 4;26; Proverbs 20:1; Proverbs 21:17; Proverbs 23:20-21; Proverbs 29-35; Isaiah 5:11; Isaiah 28:7; Habakkuk 2:15; Ephesians 5:18   Contact us: [email protected] [email protected] https://atheycreek.com/ministries/women   Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds
