“Something every Christian needs to be!” Admin
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11, NLT)
I was once again reminded this week how much I adore and appreciate a feisty woman of faith named Wilma Cheek. Not only is she Mama to a couple of my favorite people, but also she is the woman who led my family on a journey of faith that changed us from complacent Christians to fired-up followers of Jesus.
Following the urging of the Holy Spirit, Wilma gave my sister, Martie, a copy of her favorite devotional, “From Faith to Faith: A Daily Guide to Victory” and encouraged Martie to read it and share it with the rest of the fam.
Instead of reading the yearly devotional one day at a time, Martie read it all in one sitting. She’d read an entry, meditate on it, study the reference scriptures and then call me, and we’d discuss it.
When I finally got my hands on a copy of it, I did the same. I just couldn’t believe what I was reading! I’d grown up in the church; I’d been a Christian since I was a little girl; but I had no idea how many promises of God belonged to me as a believer!
