SUM Nation, what do you think about our study thus far?

The comments have been filled with wisdom and such great insight. We have an amazing community of believers in our Church Without Walls.

Let's jump into John, Chapter 14. Read it here in NKJV

This first two verses in this chapter are awesome. 

Verse 1. Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

Let not your heart be troubled. Oh, my friends, this seems to be a season of troubled hearts. I can't tell you how many of you have shared crazy and difficult situations with me. And I'm walking through the most difficult season of my life. Yet, Jesus speaks to you and to me..... "Let not your heart be troubled."

Think about this, Peter was troubled. He was catching on that a disaster was eminent and his entire world, his beliefs, his hopes for his future were about to implode.

I can tell you that I faced this very place on April 26th when I sat in an ER room and the head of oncology walked in to explain what was wrong with Mike and what was about to happen to him, to us!

 "Lynn, let not your heart be troubled. I have overcome the world." I heard these words over and again throughout the past six months. It's not easy to handle this very difficult and challenging world we live in. Yet, even after a meltdown, where I felt weak or mad at myself for having the meltdown, Jesus would help me re-center. Help me step back into truth. Help me to hope again.

We are fast approaching Rosh Hashanah and the 10 days between lead up to Yom Kippur. You know I have watched the Lord close out so much in September to make way for the new assignments in October. And if you remember, He gave me a promise, October 6th. 

I cling to that promise and look forward with HOPE for a new season. And this new season is for all of us. God will remove people, relationships, jobs, and even relocate you during this season. It's because He has new, and He has more for you. So, believe and be ready.

I'm excited to discover what our good Father has for me. And for you. 

Think right now, what is God closing out of my life. Tell me in the comments and let me know how to pray. I love you. Lynn

PS. We will start on verse two on Monday. *grin*
