Menu planning has been a huge blessing to my family, our health and our budget but there are weeks where I just don't get to it.  Those are the weeks that I spend more money because I find myself running to the grocery store more often  (so much for time saved and healthy eating goes out the door too!).

If we want proof of God’s love for us, then we m If we want proof of God’s love for us, then we must look first at the Cross, where God offered up His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Calvary is the one objective, absolute, irrefutable proof of God’s love for us.⁣
~ Jerry Bridges
Jesus is the only righteous one who perfectly deli Jesus is the only righteous one who perfectly delighted in the law of the Lord and meditated on it day and night. Jesus is like the tree planted by streams of water. His life was abundantly fruitful, and all that He did, He prospered. His life, death, and resurrection accomplished the salvation of sinners—all those who can’t live up to the demands of Psalm 1 but put their faith and trust in Jesus alone for salvation.⁣

Our ladies’ bible study group at church studied Our ladies’ bible study group at church studied several of the Psalms together. My Psalm to share a message and put together some study questions was Psalm 1, and I wanted to share my time from that study with you today. ⁣
⁣
Psalm 1 is one I memorized years ago, and I thought I was pretty familiar with it until I studied through it. So I hope when you listen to the podcast below or read the post, it will open up Psalm 1 to you a bit more. ⁣
⁣
I’m including in the links a PDF download of the study questions I shared with my ladies group if you’d like to do a mini-study on Psalm 1 in your own time.⁣

Treating your husband with respect is not somethin Treating your husband with respect is not something that your husband must first earn; it is something that you choose to show him.  It is an underlying heart’s attitude that is to be prevalent regardless of your circumstances and in spite of your feelings. ⁣
⁣
How respectful are you to your husband?  The way you talk to him? About him? We’re going to tear apart Ephesians 5:33, in which we as wives are not suggested to but commanded to show respect to our husbands whether or not we feel he deserves it.⁣
