Will of God
Expected time: 4 sessions of 15 minutes (except for memorization). Check each item when completed.
- Pray about this lesson. (Allow God to do beyond your capabilities in this lesson.)
- Read James 4:13-15. What does this passage say about how God's will affects events in our lives? In what areas of our lives should we seek God's will?
- Memorize 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22. Notes on memorization:
- It is difficult to succeed in any fundamental area of living without memorizing a verse on it.
- Always memorize in one translation.
- Always memorize word-for-word.
- When saying, always say the verse reference, then the verse itself, then the reference again.
- Memorize during "brainless" activities, like driving, standing in line, during commercials, ...
- Regularly review verses previously memorized.
- Read as many of the following as time permits, answering the questions below.
- From the Scripture verses, list questions you can ask yourself when you are trying to determine God's will regarding a decision you need to make.
- When (in what circumstances and decisions), practically, should you ask these questions?
- In what decisions can you know for certain what God's will is?
- What should you do if you ask the questions but still cannot determine God's will?
- From the above, determine something of which you need to change. One way to encourage success in this area is to say a memorized verse on this subject when struggling with what to do. What one other thing can you be doing to improve in this area?
