Reflection

What one idea from this past week’s topics had the biggest impact on your life?

This week’s lesson emphasized, that God reveals His will to us through: His Word, the Holy Spirit, other people, and providential circumstances.

Which one of these do you tend to most depend upon?

Which one do you need to learn more about? What steps are you going to take?

What is one area or circumstance in your life that requires God’s direction? Take time, right now, to ask Him to show you clearly what He wants you do.

In “Only Jesus,” Beth Yoe included these words from Charles Spurgeon:

We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul.

In what ways do you let Jesus define your happiness?

What other things often take the place of Jesus (be honest!)?

What action steps do you need to take in order to allow Jesus to be the central thing in your life?

Mary exclaimed, “I have seen the Lord!” In what ways have you seen Jesus?

When is the last time you went “to God … first”? What difference did it make?

In what ways are you experiencing God’s peace?

How do you see God’s peace in the people around you?

In what ways are you growing in your relationship with God?

In what ways is the Holy Spirit leading, directing, and guiding you?

Write It on Your Heart

Take a few minutes to memorize this verse:

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)
