Amen! The last Scripture you share, John 15:12 got my attention too. I remember what the verses say afterwards because I have spoken about it to my husband. (He's not a believer but he likes to hear me say what I have learned in my personal Bible Study.) Anyway, when you mentioned covetousness in the planner community in my situation would be the crafting community. Especially when others are sharing haul videos, and you see what they purchased and then you want it too. I have more than enough and have no business purchasing what I don't need. Yea, God is working in me with that. I have been in a dry season for a while in my Bible reading. I didn't follow through with your Scripture Writing plan last month but this month I am doing a Give Thanks Scripture Writing plan that I found at Pinterest. I created a journal out of scrapbook paper. I can see how my heart is filling up with gratitude to God and started to remember what I saw Him do. There is so much to be grateful for. Also, in one of my studies there was a quote from Spurgeon that says, "When praise and worship get married their first-born child is gratitude." I loved it! Praise, worship and gratitude all go together giving God all the glory. Tfs.
I remember you mentioning you hadn’t touched your Faith planner in a while so I am glad you are back and reading a Scripture Plan for November. Yes, the covetousness is definitely in craft community as well. Just before reading the scripture I had filmed and uploaded a Temu haul that is scheduled for today…smh. I have fallen for it so many times. I’ll be praying For us both my friend that we don’t fall into it. I love that saying by Spurgeon you shared. I think I will add that to my planner this week as a reminder. Thanks for sharing 😊
@@CreativelyGracious Yes, praying for both of us. The funny thing is this past Sunday my pastor started preaching on the series God Provides and was speaking on how we are to steward the funds God has provided us with. How timely, huh? Temu is horrible. They always try to get us with their coupons and cheap prices for us to get more. Now that I think of it, every time I see someone share a Temu haul I will remind myself of James 4:7. Haul videos is my temptation.
The Hebrews scripture is very interesting. Meditating on it will actually help us be content and grateful for what we already have. While the Bible acknowledges that money is a protection, it also warns us that money alone cannot make us happy. Ecclesiastes 7:12
Thank you. Sometimes I have to write small and fit two lines of writing in one. When I can’t fit it I just add an extra small sheet of paper to make it work.
I’m so happy to join you in scripture writing. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Glad you are joining in. We are happy to have you 😊🙏🏽

Nice writing! And how do you make your scriupters fit!
