Day Of Reflection
Peaceful Journey with Jesus
Good Morning Beauties!
On this Day of Reflection, God placed on my heart to share Psalm 23. It’s been one of my very favorite verses of the entire Bible; the one I go to when I need peace and rest for my soul.
As you read and meditate on this beautiful song of King David, reflect on your 40 Day journey experience.
Psalm 23, a Psalm of King David
”The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.”
Beauties, our focus during this particular journey was to grow in our relationship with Jesus and exchange our exhaustion for His rest and peace. Let’s answer these questions to determine areas of accomplishment. Do you feel emotionally and spiritually restored, renewed, refreshed? Do you believe you can lay down in green pastures in prayer with Jesus, even though you have a million things to do? Are you feeling confident and fearless, knowing who you are in Christ and no longer being bound by lies…the messages saying you have to try harder and be better, and do more? Are you in a place you can now receive all the blessings God has for you, knowing that you are worthy in His eyes, (because of what Jesus has done for you.) Do you believe you will dwell with God forever? Did the pressures of this world shift to peace and rest found in an eternal perspective? Selah.
My prayer is that you have indeed drawn closer to Jesus, your Lord and Savior, and that you can identify at least one area where He has helped you silence the lies of the enemy and you are now free to live as God intended when He created you.
Just like we learned, sanctification is an ongoing process of the Holy Spirit. You can’t expect a complete “overhaul” in your very first journey, but I invite you to return to this resource to let Jesus speak to you again. If you found value in your journey, I humbly ask that you would invite a friend or perhaps a family member to join you on your next 40 Day Journey. Beauties, there are so many women who need to know truth, but are too busy to stop and spend time with Jesus. (Sound familiar?) Let’s help them! Our next journey will focus on Jesus’ birth and begins on November 15th. I would love to have you join me again.
Now, we are equipped to love God and love others by serving them in the humble way Jesus served. Let His light shine brightly through you as you rely on His strength while you go change the world!

“ Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.”
