Bad Girls
Tuesday, March 06, 2018
Bad Girls of the Bible is a study that came out years ago by Liz Curtis Higgs. I wasn't drawn in by it years ago but decided to visit it at an online Bible Study site I use. Liz is funny. She cracks me up with some of the things she says.
The Bad Girls all have one thing in common; they turned their back on God. I want to believe that I have never turned my back on God. I feel like I haven't. What I have done is stray too far away and have gotten lost. He has never turned his back on me.
What I have learned is that the further the anchor is set from the ship the longer it takes to reel it in.
For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ. Colossians 2:5
Eve, Potiphar's Wife, Lot's Wife, the Woman at the Well, Delilah, Sapphira, Rahab, Jezebel, Michal, the Sinful Woman, Phyllis, ... Yes, I am a sinner. We all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. It is through the redeeming grace of Jesus Christ that we die to be born again through Salvation. What was old is new. I am forgiven. He is my anchor in all of my storms. My Anchor is steadfast.
Here are some words that the Holy Spirit brought forth from me.
HIS PLAN by Phyllis Wall 2017
I’m sitting in the tower between my eyes
Looking out onto the world completely dry
Empty faces trying to survive
A shift of 24 hours, five to five
Rushing past the hope of the day
Keeping Jesus Christ at bay
In their pocket, on the phone
Just hit the Jesus ringtone
He will answer the call
Not annoyed at all
What we are missing is tragic
The love of Jesus is magic
We can’t comprehend this love he gives
So we ignore anything that lets us live
So deep within the water split for us to cross
We choose to drown by the worldly boss
When it is so simple to follow and see
We can’t let our life be truly free
Hanging on trying to control
With nets torn, pots cracked, we roll
Until we can’t, days lost
At what cost
His on the cross
Ours, we haphazardly toss
It’s not too late to stop, step off
On the right foot, he said follow
Open up, don’t be hollow
I will use your brokenness
Clean up and shine your mess
Together again
It is my plan
