What Do You Think? Wednesday
We have lists, if not on paper, in our heads and driven by our hearts; we (recovering) strong black women know what we want to do and how to do it. We don’t need anyone dictating and orchestrating for us. We often have our minds made up and these made up minds may lead us far from where we should be IF we haven’t governed our lives according to the Word of God. And we need to live according to the Word of God.

Today I am thankful for the Bible, the book that gives me parameters for living, a daily guidebook created so I can listen to God, walk in His way and stay in my lane, the one He chose for me even before He created the earth. I find it liberating not to have to develop a blueprint for my life, then on my own have to seek out the contents to build my life and manage them to maintain my life. The blueprint, the contents and their management are all found in God’s Word and cemented with a relationship then constant fellowship with God through Jesus Christ. The main obligation for the believer in Christ—whatever her challenges may be—is to follow the Bible. This is the great starting point. If we start elsewhere, we are guaranteed a faulty finish.

For the next few weeks I plan to continue discussing some of the special obligations I believe the Bible clearly states that the believer in Christ has. Won’t you please join me in that discussion starting today? What do you think are the special obligations that the Christian has? On this Thanksgiving eve, what do you think Christians should be thankful for?
