Be Thankful, 2

 

~ Be Thankful When You Are About To Eat ~

 

Series Note ~ This series looks at repetitive specific times when a Christian should take a few moments to thank God.

 

Scripture ~ “So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.  And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.  They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them.  So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.  Now those who had eaten were about four thousand.  And He sent them away, immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha” (Mark 8:6-10).

 

Comment ~ Our Lord Himself gave us the example.

God Speaks, 5

 

~ God Speaks Through An Audible Voice ~

 

Series Introduction ~ The one true God is a relational God who desires interaction with His created humans.  But it is up to each person to choose to listen carefully to the God of this universe.  In this series we look at various ways God communicates to us if we are willing to listen.  Keep in mind throughout this series that the most basic and important way to hear from God is read The Holy Bible with an open mind. 

 

Scripture ~ “As he [Saul] journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.  Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? 

 

“And he said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’

 

“Then the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.  It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’  

 

“So he, trembling and astonished, said, ‘Lord, what do You want me to do?’

 

“Then the Lord said to him, ‘Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do’” (Acts 9:3-6).

 

Note also that while the Son of God was on earth the Father spoke to Him.

 

“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say?  ‘Father, save Me from this hour?’  But for this purpose I came to this hour.  Father, glorify Your name.”

 

“Then a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.’  

 

“Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered.  Others said, ‘An angel has spoken to Him’” (John 12:27-29).
