The Bible Doesn't Say That: God Helps Who?

The Bible Doesn't Say That Part 1 - Many people want God to help them in life. We've come to believe that God only helps those who help themselves. But the story of Scripture actually teaches us something different. Today we discover that thos who humble themselves and seek Jesus are the ones who God truly helps. He knows what we need; which means we don't need to worry or help ourselves.

 

Here is this weeks devotional guide. Complete one a day:

1. Reflect: What area of your life do you usually “help yourself” in? (i.e. relationships, finances, morality, leisure). Has helping yourself ever caused worry or stress?
   
   
2. Write: Make a list of some of your greatest needs. Be specific. After you finish your list, write Matthew 6:32 at the bottom of your list. Read through your list and that verse everyday this week.
   
   
3. Read: Read the following verses. What theme do they all share? 1 Chronicles 16:11. Isaiah 55:6. Proverbs 8:17. Matthew 7:7-8. Jeremiah 29:13. Psalm 119:2.
   
   
4. Do: Buy something for someone today (coffee, lunch, a gift) As you provide for someone else, remember that God has promised to provide for you as you seek Him!
5. Pray: Adore God because He is your heavenly Father. Admit that you have helped yourself instead of trusting God. Aspire to live humble and seek God’s kingdom first.
