Study Guide January 25th thru 30th

STUDY GUIDE

Monday, January 25: Looking Into The Mirror; Read Romans 3:20. Why did God give us the Ten Commandments when He knew that we would break them? He gave them in order to show us that we are sinful and weak, and that we need His mercy. When I look into the mirror of the Ten Commandments, I see that I am a sinner. Then I cry out “God be merciful to me!”
Tuesday, January 26: Talking To God; Read Psalm 107:8. When we truly understand that God is our loving heavenly Father and we are His children, then we won’t worry about disappointing Him with our prayers. God delights in our prayers when they truly express the feelings and desires of our heart.
Wednesday, January 27: No Secrets From God; Read 1 Kings 8:39. God knows everything about us, even our deepest thoughts and motives. We can hide them from other people; we can even hide them from ourselves, but we can’t hide them from God. Thank God for His grace and His willingness to forgive our sins.
Thursday, January 28: Letting Go Of The Past; Read Ephesians 4:31. Have you ever noticed that if you continue to hate someone whatever they did will continue to hurt you? Our anger and hatred just keep opening past emotional wounds. This is one reason that we need to let go of the past with God’s help, and release our anger and hatred and replace it with His love.
Friday, January 29: Using Our Gifts; Read Romans 12:6-8. One of Satin’s oldest tricks is to make us think that we aren’t worth anything and that God can’t use us. This simply isn’t true. God wants to use each of us, and He has equipped every one of us with the gifts we need to serve Him.
Saturday, January 30: He Can Be Trusted; Read Numbers 23:19. Can God’s promises be trusted? Yes, we can trust His promises because He does not lie, nor does He change His mind. He is perfect and holy, and He loves us. God knows your problems, and He can be trusted to be with you. (Wisdom, Stilwell., Thomas Nelson., 2008.)
