4^th  Lesson                One Year Bible         Class  VBC                           8 February 2015

We will be reading this week (2-8 Feb) Exodus 15:19-28:42, Matthew 22:1-26:13; Psalm 27:1-31:18 & Proverbs 6:20-8:13. Strive to start your day in the scriptures reading to know God. We read to know God NOT to make Him happy because we do read. Please don’t read out of guilt “to catch up” because you have missed a day, if James 4:17 applies, put that under the promise of 1^st John 1:9. Read and enjoy knowing God.

Suggestion: Be sensitive to your surroundings. Look for God in all things. Accept John 3:12 and keep on looking for the higher learning. Write a thank you note to God. Practice Psalm 5:1-2 as your personnel plea and use different names of God to restate your meditation. What answer do you expect from The LORD?

Meditate on Psalm 5:1-2, John 3:12, Genesis 28:15 and a promise that you read this week. As you walk in the “mine field planted by Satan” seek God’s wisdom, be careful.

Military application: We must be keen on the Objective given to us by our Commander and Lord. Another principle is that of Simplicity; first understand the mission, speak it back as received, don’t add to nor delete truths, read-heed-believe and execute. If you will not march in step you cannot fight and win. KISS!

Record names, attributes and promises of God you discovered this week. Where did you see Jehovah Rapha? Where did El Shaddai demonstrate his power? What evidence was there of Jehovah Jireh? Consider Elohim to be defined as “Infinite Power absolute Faithfullness.” Work on writing out your testimony using scriptures.

How and where did you see the KEY WORDS of Law, Sin, Righteousness, Love, Holy, Mercy, Grace, faith, Hope, Heart, Glory, and Joy demonstrated this week?

Application / Goals; did you relate Jesus teaching His disciples to pray with God providing “manna”?  Fear God, be wary of where you walk, sit and who you talk with each day. Discipline yourself to believe and practice II Timothy 3:16-17. Strive to be faithful on purpose?

Do you believe Psalm 27 is an applicable promise to you today? Is Exodus 20 a critical lesson to you? What Truth did you learn from Exodus 23:8? How does Matthew 24:29-51 impact your concept of God? What warning did you see in Proverbs 8:1-10? Where is your alabaster box? What is considered the fear of the LORD?

We say that God is Genuine, Great and Good. Define God’s attributes of Transcendent and Immanent and record the scriptures that demonstrate these qualities.
