LESSON:
Genesis 20-22 & Luke 8
SCRIPTURE:
Luke 8:10
"And He said, 'To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is
given in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'"
OBSERVATION:
Have you ever noticed how, if you're reading the bible, but you're not actually focusing on God, none of it makes sense? Or better how non-believers are convinced it's just a book of children's stories? It doesn't make sense to them, or to us when we're not seeking Him, because it's a living word. Jesus says this much in Luke 8:10; that those who don't believe WON'T see and WON'T hear. You have to accept Him to understand his word.
APPLICATION:
In those moments when the bible isn't making sense to you, or you're just not connecting, stop and pray. Pray for guidance, so that God shows you what it is you need to see.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for giving us a living Word to read and use to grow closer to you. Help me to truly hear the words you want me to hear and understand the messages you want me to understand, so that I can be more like you.
