We're getting close to the end of our study! It's been a long journey and we'll never stop learning to listen to God. As we grow and our life circumstances and the world change, we will never stop needing to hear God's voice! It's been good to take these months to study together.
Sister Circles are meeting on different weeks this month. Here are the dates! Sign up here for more details about locations.
Wednesday, April 12 @ 10:30amSunday, April 16 @ 9:15amFriday, April 21 @ 7pm
Hopefully you finished UP TO PAGE 163 in the book. Before watching this month's video, think/talk through some biblical examples of how God orchestrated circumstances and timing in the lives of some specific people who served Him. (There is a list on page 144 in the study book or you can look up Ruth 1:3-7 or Esther 4:10-14.) What do these stories tell us about God's character?
READ Habakkuk 1:5. It says, "The Lord replied, “Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it..." Discuss (or think about) God's power and ability to move in astonishing ways, how He often works imperceptibly both on our behalves and to bring glory to His own name. Take a moment to brainstorm some of the reasons that we struggle to expect great things from God. What's a practical way that we could help change those expectations in our hearts and minds?
After watching the video, think about these questions:
- As a follower of Jesus Christ, what does it mean to you to be a part of the family of God? Have you really allowed that to become part of your identity and change your everyday life? If that's a struggle for you, what holds you back? Do you think owning your identity might make a difference in your heart and mind?
- Priscilla says, "If the enemy cannot destroy you, he will just try to distract you." How has technology been a distraction in your life, pulling you away from more important priorities? What kinds of strategies can you implement for yourself and your family members to incorporate healthy boundaries when it comes to social media and technological devices? What other distractions do you struggle with?
We have just one more month together in this study! Let's pray together that the Holy Spirit will continue to lead us into closer fellowship with the Father and Jesus and that this last month of study will be meaningful in our walk with God.
Thank You, Jesus, for being our Good Shepherd and for being willing to lay down your life for us. Thank You, Father, for loving us and for calling us into a relationship with You. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for staying with us and for helping us. Help us remember to seek You with all of our hearts. In Jesus Name, amen.
Blessings to you this Good Friday and Easter weekend!
Love,
Melissa
