Week Twenty-six
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 Ecclesiastes 1 - Isaiah 4...
1. What does it mean to have “eternity planted in the human heart”? When do you sense that truth in yourself? Beauty? Pain? Longing? As you worship, enjoy the eternal meaning, significance, and joy that comes from God alone.
God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
2. When has anger caused you to act foolishly? In what areas, situations, or even times of day do you tend to have a short fuse? How can you remind yourself to see God in a way that honors Him when you face these situations?
Don’t be quick-tempered, for anger is the friend of fools. (Ecclesiastes 7:9)
3. Remember a time when you felt the power of love. Human love can be strong, but the love of a heavenly Father is stronger still. How do you feel when you ponder the nail prints in Jesus’ hand and feet? Worship God as you contemplate His amazing love for you.
Place me like a seal over your heart, or like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, and its jealousy is as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love; neither can rivers drown it. (Song of Songs 8:6,7)
Happy 4th of July everyone! Enjoy!
