The Coffee Table

🌸 September 16–30 — Closing Encouragement September has taken us through rebuilding, courage, suffering, wisdom, grace, identity, unity, spiritual battle, joy, perseverance, peace, purpose, and eternity . Some days remind us that we don't have all the answers . Some remind us that God is still working . Some remind us that we are deeply loved and chosen in Christ . Some call us to stand firm . Others invite us to let go of anxiety and receive God's peace .

What would change if God's approval became your highest priority? Takeaways: Live for God's approval. Following Christ requires courage.
