Hey guys. Chelsey here with ya today. Who's ready to get their Bible on!? :) Dear Lord, please speak to us through your word today. We want to learn more about you. How you think...how you operate. Help us learn about your character. We love you Jesus. Amen!
Romans 1 - let's look at verse 16 "for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. It is the power of God at work, Saving everyone who believes." What does it mean to not be ashamed of something? I'd be pretty hurt if Adam was ashamed of me or embarrassed by me in front of his friends. But let's flip it to a spiritual perspective real fast...are we ever embarrassed to stick up for what's right? Like maybe do we ever go ahead and laugh at a dirty joke when we know it's wrong, just because it's easier to laugh than to stand up for what we believe? Try to think of it with that perspective. Don't be ashamed of the gospel and what you believe in. Be firm in your beliefs! Be bold! :)
Daniel 7 - here we see Daniel have a dream and God explains the meaning to him. It's an intense dream too! At the end of the chapter it says Daniel woke up terrified and pale. Have you ever had a dream like that? I love dreams. They're way cool. God gets to speak to a captive audience...you can't go anywhere and are silent so he can speak. It's great. I encourage you to check out the book "understanding the dreams you dream" by Ira Milligan. It teaches about different symbols in dreams. Write your dreams down!!! And then pray about them and ask God what he's trying to say to you.
Well, that's all for today. I hope you've gotten your nuggets for the day! Thanks for reading with me. Xoxo -Chelsey
