For whatever life holds for you and your family in the coming days,

weave the unfailing fabric of God's Word through your heart and mind.

It will hold strong, even if the rest of life unravels.

Knowing God's Word #1

Chapter 1: Will This Be on the Test?

On our spiritual journey for the next twelve weeks or so, we're studying Knowing God's Word, a Women of Faith Study Guide (foreward by Luci Swindoll). Through studying this book, we will:

• understand the reason we need to learn Scripture by heart and recall it every day;
• learn what's important in life and what isn't;
• be encouraged to have goals that are not only right, but also righteous (p. vi).

Chapter One Memorable Quote:

Bibles are "so commonplace, so readily available, that I think we sometimes forget just what we hold in our hands" (p 13).
