Week Twelve
Welcome! We pray that you have all had a precious time worshipping the Lord this morning! Below you will find some thought provoking questions that will provide you a starting point to your journal writing to complete this week. We hope that you will find this time soul satisfying!
Our reading this week was 2 Samuel 20 - 1 Kings 22.
1. What degree of control over your life do you need to have to feel secure? What parts of your life (for example, your house, job, family) do you desperately guard so that no one can take them away? Find your security in your "shield" and "high tower."
"He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold, my high tower, my savior, the one who saves me from violence." (2 Samuel 22:3)
2. How is your conduct influenced by the company you keep? Do you act one way around believers but become a different person around those who are not? Write a letter to God asking Him to make you a model of Godly living.
"Although the pagan shrines were not completely removed, Asa remained faithful to the LORD throughout his life. He brought into the Temple of the LORD the silver and gold and the utensils that he and his father had dedicated." (1Kings 15:14-15)
3. How do you receive the warnings in the Bible against sin? Or are you comfortable with the way things are, confident that everything will work out in the end? Don't wait for a grave report - urgently seek after God. When He speaks, listen!
"When Ahab heard this message, he tore his clothing, dressed in sackcloth, and fasted. He even slept in sackcloth and went about in deep mourning." (1 Kings 21:27)
