Week Thirty-five
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 Zechariah 5 - Matthew 5...
1. What hardships do you currently face? How does thinking of them as part of God’s purifying work in your life affect your attitude? Thank God today for His refining process in you.
I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure, just as gold and silver are refined and purified by fire. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, “These are my people,” and they will say, “The LORD is our God.” (Zechariah 13:9)
2. Inventory your latest accomplishments and achievements. Of which are you most proud? Turn your thoughts to the One who enabled you to accomplish what you do. Humbly worship Him, and ask Him to keep you from arrogance.
The LORD Almighty says, “The day of judgement is coming, tuning like a furnace. The arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw on that day. They will be consumed like a tree-roots and all.” (Malachi 4:1)
3. What examples can you recall of times when you either performed or witnessed a deed that made people want to praise God? Why do you think this action drew attention to the LORD rather than the person who did it? What can you do today to shine your light and bring God glory?
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. (Matthew 5:16)
