Week Forty...
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 Luke 8:40 - Luke 19...
1. Which of life’s details tend to distract you from God? What could happen if you let them go to spend time with Jesus? What blessings might you receive from Him in exchange? How can you arrange your schedule to set aside time each day for uninterrupted communion with the LORD?
But the LORD said to her, “My dear Martha, you are so upset over all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it-and I won’t take it away from her.” (Luke 10:41-42)
2. Think of several images of protection (for example, a parent holding the hand of a child; a friend assisting an elderly person; or a mother bird feeding her young), and describe one in detail. Let these images cause you to remember how Jesus longs to gather and protect you.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me. (Luke 13:34)
3. What kinds of doubts and trials threaten to erode your faith? When have you felt spiritually weak? Ask God to point you to His promises and to strengthen your faith.
One day the apostles said to the LORD, “We need more faith; tell us how to get it.” (Luke 17:5)
