We're diving into a powerful story of service, humility, and wisdom in the Bible—looking at the lives of David, Abigail, and Nabal in 1 Samuel 25.

Why Are We Called to Serve Others?

Join Time to Thrive this month as we dive into God's Word to explore this powerful question. Today, Anna and Haelle lead us to a key passage:

📖 Romans 12:10–11 (KJV)

"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

💡 This month, let’s stand out by showing God’s love in action—not just by what we say, but by how we live. Let’s love like that. 💕

Let us hold fast to the endurance we receive through Christ Jesus. Every struggle we face, every hardship we endure, is not in vain. Through it all, our faith is refined and strengthened, drawing us closer to His purpose and glory.

🕊️ Marriage. Faith. Endurance.

A few reminders for the journey:

• Spend time alone with God. It strengthens everything else.

• You don’t have conflicts—you have disagreements. Handle them with grace.

• Choose your battles. Not every hill is worth climbing.

• Check your expectations: Are they loving? Are they realistic?

• There’s no hierarchy in love. Walk side by side.

• Ask: What is most beneficial right now?

• Prayer isn’t passive—it’s action.

• Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust. Submit. He will lead.

• Be patient. Pray. Wait

• You’re not just in a marriage—you are the marriage.

• Take 3 days to pray before major decisions. Let peace guide you.

💬 Which of these speaks to you today?

Endurance is not just about surviving hardship—it’s about resting in the promises of God while we do. True endurance comes from a place of trust. We hold fast not because we are strong, but because He is faithful.

Trust. Wait. Work as you wait.

His promises never fail.

Jacob and Rachel’s story in Genesis 29 is one of love, endurance, waiting—and trusting God's timing even through hardship and delay. It perfectly echoes your earlier reflection: “Trust. Wait. Work as you wait.”

The apostle Paul reminds us that we should boast in our afflictions, not because pain is pleasant, but because of what it produces:

"We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope..." — Romans 5:3-4

Every hardship becomes an invitation to grow. Every trial is a refining fire. When we endure, it brings glory to God—because it points to His sustaining grace, not our own strength. Endurance testifies that Christ is enough, even when everything else is stripped away.
