Tonight was another great night of bible study. Great learning time. Almost two hours went by in the blink of an eye. The Bible IS relevant to our everyday life and that is amazing in itself. A lot of the things we went through really spoke to me tonight and I would like to use this blog to write about what the message was.
However, earlier in the day I already decided what I would write about tonight and I'm still certain that is what I should write about.
As humans we are always asking God to do things for us, to bless us, to give us answers, to lead us out of something, to lead us into something..you name it and someone has asked God for it. When we talk to God he answers our prayers if it is in his will. Sometimes his answer is a gentle nudge and sometimes it is a big push.
I wonder how often if we would listen to the gentle nudges when we know we should, it would save us from being subjected to the big push. That big push can cause us more pain. It's just a reminder that if we pray and ask for answers, we need to listen to those answers.
1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
God answers prayers when our prayers are according to his will. And when he sends us answers for things that are in his will, we need to realize he is answering our prayers. Too often we mistake signs, coincidences and clues for true answers. And sometimes we miss true answers because they are just too easy to see.
So today I'm thankful for:
1) a unfailing persistent God
2) another great evening of Bible study that really makes me examine my life
