LWML On The Go

This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24).

The first Bible to be translated into an indigenous language in Australia was the Kriol Bible. Their dedication ceremony was in May 2007. Cameron Townsend, founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators, first thought of going to Australia to translate the Bible into indigenous languages back in the 1940s. What better cause for celebration than to read the printed Bible in one’s heart language for the first time – to think, “God speaks my language.”

Joyful Celebration

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience … (Colossians 3:12).

Have you ever stood and looked in your closet and couldn’t decide what to wear? You look at all the clothes hanging there and nothing seems right for the day ahead. The perfect outfit just isn’t there! Isn’t it good to know that our heavenly Father has already selected the perfect outfit for us as His dearly loved children? It is the outfit for service.

Outfitted for Service

Outfitted for Service by Janice Wendorf, Grafton, Wisconsin

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added you (Matthew 6:33).

A lack of trust often presents itself as worry, fear, anxiety, discouragement, or a constant desire to fix things our own way. Have you found yourself in a similar situation?

Finding Peace in Troubling Times

Finding Peace in Troubling Times by Elizabeth Giertz, Harker Heights, Texas

Answered Prayer was written by Linda Guteres, Christian Living Editor, Lutheran Women's Quarterly, and appeared in the Lutheran Women's Quarterly. 

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke 

An inspirational thought excerpted from Alma Kern's book, You Are Special.

Did you ever wonder: since I’m God’s child and He loves me dearly, then why did He let this happen to me? To the one I love? Why does He allow suffering? Why do bad things happen to good people?

Then Why?
