Only the Lord knows Them
The woman, Meish (Mee-yish), and her husband Ish, have joined a small group to worship God and to pray for each other. They consist of both men and woman who are of the same mind, Jesus Christ. Their means are not their own and they rely heavily on the Holy Spirit to guide them through life and prayer. They have a list of verses they work out each week then come together to discuss them, gather a new list, and seek God’s face for direction. They know each other not but they know the Lord has brought them together for His purpose which they are seeking to find. The Lord is the only one who knows them and their heart.
They are finding freedom while seeking the will of God for their life and for the sake of the group. The Father’s will is not just for each one of them but for the whole of them, just as it is for the whole of this world. They know they are being made alive by the Spirit while they set their minds to serve him each week. Meish is the first to tell the group that it has been a brutal year. As she explains her heartache, they pray for God to give her a heart that delights in His laws during this time. They prayed the path Jesus has paved for her would become clear to her, so she has the hope of activity. They know the heartache of not knowing what God expects from them.
Each of them has a prayer to pray and more verses to ponder as they bid each other good night and exit the meeting place. Ish hugs Meish, on the way out, to comfort her. Ish has changed significantly over the years so Meish believes him and takes solace in his hug. They will go through more hard times together, to be sure, but fortunately they have the love of their small group as well.
The group verses from last week are Colossians 1:9; 1 Peter 2:15-16; 1 Peter 3:18; Psalm 119:143; Psalm 119:18; Psalm 119:105; Psalm 1:1-2
