High blood pressure is called the silent killer. It has no symptoms but can damage the heart and blood vessels over time. If left untreated, it can lead to stroke or kidney failure. That’s why doctors check their patients’ blood pressure at every visit. Without regular check-ups, we might go years without knowing what we need to know.
The same is true for Christian women. We don’t always realize what our spirits need until our hearts are broken and we become desperate for a remedy. Maybe it’s time to give ourselves a good dose of prevention so we don’t need a pound of cure.
I’m beginning a new series this week called “What Women Need.” The first installment will be posted Sunday on the Lean into Jesus website. I’ll share a link on Facebook and send it out via email Sunday afternoon. Over the next few weeks, we will explore five essential needs that every woman has. We’ll start from the very foundation and build upward. I can’t wait to get started! I’m praying for you and hope this new series will bless your hearts.
Take note: Lean into Jesus Ministries will host a women’s conference on Saturday, February 7th, at the RSVP building in Guntersville, AL. Just yesterday, a lady reminded me how special this event is. She said she’s been to many ladies’ events, and this one ALWAYS blesses her. The theme this year is “Even If,” taken from Habakkuk 3:17-19. So many of us have our “even if” stories, don’t we? Please mark your calendars now. Registration is just around the corner.
“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18 NLT)
Watch for Part 1 of “What Women Need” this Sunday. (If you’re worried about missing it and want to subscribe to Perfection Road by email, click here.) Happy Tuesday!
