Time: 7:00 PM – 7:56 PM
Participants: Kanami, Hiyori, Ko, Akari, and Seiyu
Ko shared that it was ironic how Job refused to back down to his friends, while his friends simultaneously refused to admit they were wrong. He learned that to come boldly into God’s presence, we must fully accept that we are made righteous through Jesus’ death and resurrection. He shared that he has a desire for more boldness to approach God openly.
Hiyori noted that those who align with the world often succeed in society. She shared that following God’s will allows Him to grant the desires of her heart, such as her new part-time job.
Akari shared that life is a valuable gift from God, made possible through Jesus’ sacrifice, and it is something money cannot buy. This led her to reflect on the importance of how she lives after college and after entering the workforce.
Kana learned the importance of discerning right from wrong based on God’s standards. She shared that knowing God is not just about “head knowledge,” but about having a close, personal relationship. This intimacy is what allows for true discernment.
I did not share reflections on the chapters this time but mentioned going to the gym frequently last week.
Akari prayed that more people be saved and that God would use the group as His vessels. Afterwards, we prayed in tongues for a few minutes.
