Keys To Life Bible Fellowship

“In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:6, NIV)

This is what God does for the people who trust in Him—who lean wholly upon Him. He will go ahead of us and smooth the road. He will remove all the obstacles in our way so we can reach the destination He intends for us. This does not mean, however, that there will be no difficulties, interruptions, or deterrents along the way.

It means that God will be with us and help us to rise above everything in our path that threatens to trip us up or throw us off course. We, in turn, have to put ourselves in His hands. We have to trust and lean upon Him wholly.

God often corrects us through consequences. When we drift, He allows us to experience the fruit of our choices, not because He is cruel, but because He is merciful. Consequences are meant to redirect us, not destroy us. (Proverbs 26:11; Rom 12:1-2)

The storms of life are sanctuaries where theology becomes testimony! Mark 4:35-41

This is where head knowledge meets heart experience and faith moves from theory to trust.

Proverbs 9:10 says: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Wisdom doesn’t start with cleverness. It starts with humility. It starts with bowing before the Lord and saying: “God, I don’t know it all. Teach me.”

So today, my dear friends, let’s choose:

Not to just hear God’s Word, but to live it.

Not to honor the loudest voices, but the faithful ones.

Not to listen to foolish advice, but to seek God’s Spirit and His truth.

In Jesus' Name, Amen!

God’s ways are higher than our ways; in truth, they are beyond human comprehension. The LORD directs our steps according to His divine purposes. In His infinite wisdom, He may allow us to be wronged or to suffer affliction in order to accomplish a greater good in our lives and the lives of others (Ro. 8:28). This was the case with Joseph and with Job.

As we navigate the seasons of our lives, it is comforting to recognize that just as there are patterns in nature, there are patterns in our own journeys. Summer gives way to fall, fall to winter, winter to spring, and so the cycle continues. Each season brings its own unique challenges and blessings, teaching us valuable lessons along the way.

Consider the season of life you are in right now. What is God teaching you through it? Embrace the lessons, knowing that every season has a purpose and that God's love for you remains steadfast through them all.

Loving God,
You are the Creator of both the trees and our hearts, intimately knowing the needs of each. Grant us the wisdom to embrace all that You have for us—times of growth and times of rest. Thank You for the assurance that our value to You is not based on our productivity. Seasons change, but Your love for us remains constant and unchanging. In Jesus Name, Amen!!!

Too many people today, see the will of God as something to turn to in an emergency, not something to live by every day of one’s life.

Come join us this Saturday for another Marriage Enrichment! This session will be learning about the importance of “Asking for Forgiveness”. Requesting forgiveness indicates that you want to see the relationship fully restored and you are willing to do the work required to reach that goal.
We are looking forward to seeing you there!!

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” (Ga. 6:7–8).

When we make hasty, ill-thought-out decisions or jump into something impulsively, we make serious mistakes. When this happens, we must correct or resolve the problems we have created by our rashness.

We cannot say it is God’s will, nor can we blame God for the consequences of our own foolish actions. Decisions and behaviors—whether good or bad—carry with them natural consequences. Therefore, when our sins or foolish mistakes cause problems in our lives, WE ALONE ARE TO BLAME.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” (Ga. 6:7–8).

APRIL 2
Ask the Teacher

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
JAMES 1:5 NIV

The Scriptures explain often how we can acquire wisdom. In this instance, James is referring to specific situations. When we are confronted with a decision and we do not know how to proceed, we ask God for wisdom to know what to do in that moment. Making the decision to not haphazardly run forward but taking the time to inquire of God instead protects us from foolhardy choices and regrettable outcomes.

When we seek God, the Bible says he gives wisdom generously. He is not stingy, nor is he hidden. He is nearby and willing. The greatest source of wisdom is God himself, although he has also established other avenues, we can receive wisdom from. He has given us his Word, and he encourages us to seek advice from wise counselors.

Is there anything you need wisdom for today?
