August 2023 DSW - FLOURISH

Write out a Scripture each day following the order of the verses below.  I have sorted the verses in Bible order so that you get used to seeing how God works in the Bible (from beginning to end) and in the hopes that you will see God working in your life (from beginning to end). Also, this is not only to draw your attention to flourishing in the grace and teachings of God's Word but to instill in you the basic practice of being in and writing out Scripture every day.  Challenge yourself to be disciplined in this habit!  Many of you have some sort of notebook in which you are writing these verses.

But first, a few words for you to keep your mind fresh:

"Even as our physical bodies grow old, God causes our new desires to flourish as they are fertilized by His word and Spirit."

"We flourish when we trust God and see that everything that happens to us is designed by Him to advance the Gospel in our hearts and in the hearts of others."
