Week Twenty-seven
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 Isaiah 5 - 35...
1. Reflect on each of the names of Jesus listed here. When have you encountered Him in each of these ways? What other adjectives describe your relationship with the LORD?
For a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. And the government will rest on His shoulders. These will be His royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
2. Consider God’s creation. What is most amazing to you about what He has made? In view of God’s supreme purposes in designing the universe and our lives, what can you do to honor His handiwork?
Should the thing that was created say to the One who made it, “He didn’t make us”? Does a jar ever say, “The potter who made me is stupid”? (Isaiah 29:16)
3. When has security or a steady routine made you complacent? What was your wake-up call? How can you shake your complacency and move toward complete trust in God and His faithfulness today by doing something totally different?
Listen, you women who lie around in lazy ease…In a short time - in just a little more than a year - you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. (Isaiah 32:9,10)
