Tuesday nights have become a very special night of the week for me...first I get to spend glorious time with the wonderful ladies of my Tuesday night Bible study. I am SO blessed by these women, just all trying to grow in our relationship with Christ. It is a great time of study, growth, encouragement and fellowship. I've said it before, but I'll say it again...if you are not studying the Word with a like-minded group of believers on a regular basis, you are really missing out on a special blessing! If it's a group of three, it's still a group and you may be just the one to organize it!
And then there's the second thing about Tuesday nights...it's the night of the "new verse"! YAY! Always another verse of Scripture to add to our heart's treasury. And tonight another verse of promise. We'll get to that in a minute...right after a moment of review!
The Gift of Prayer (3)

Isaiah 53:6 We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished Him for the iniquities of us all.
Praise and Thanksgiving (4)
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Psalm 100:4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
Promises of God (10)
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (ESV)
Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Our third promise is another of the most quoted verses of the Bible and one that brings so much assurance to us...
Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.
Promises of God (10)
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (ESV)
Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Our third promise is another of the most quoted verses of the Bible and one that brings so much assurance to us...Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
In our hearts I think we know that God's plans are absolutely the best plans for our lives, but sometimes in our minds we second-guess God, don't we? We can dwell on the doubts rather than on the promise. Well, this is the promise....this is where we need to dwell. Be assured...God's plans are g-o-o-d!

The Tuesday night Bible Study has enriched my spirit. I've gained confidence and new knowledge about God and His Greatness. Learning how "able" He is to accomplish all things in our lives for Good. I know God's plan is "at work" in me. He gives me such strength to face each day. I'm learning to focus my mind and heart on God's Word so He can accomplish His love in me. I enter this Thanksgiving season with a wonderful feeling of thankfulness for my Lord, Jesus Christ. God's Holy Spirit is alive in me. I will dwell on God's promises.
