“Fully Known and Led by God" with Stephanie Morgan

Has God ever led you to a new, unexpected place?  Stephanie shares how God plucked her up and planted her in a new community.  She trusted His leading and leaned into His still, small voice in connecting and making new relationships.

Our thankfulness helps us to move forward when we think about the past and what God has done. -SM

GOD’S WORD – There are no better words than these:

“Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.”

Isaiah 53:4-6
