Out of your little, give much.
Bible study requires discipline and the heart of a seeker. If we don’t take time to search the scriptures for ourselves, we will keep depending on others to feed us with spiritual truth. God prefers that we get to know Him for ourselves. As much as iron sharpeneth iron, do not forget that He draws nigh to those who draw nigh to Him first. I have taken time to copy and paste the verses of scripture from yesterday’s lesson. I feel it is important for us to meditate on them one after the other. “If you love me, keep my commandments,” Jesus says. So, lets learn more about the command to remember the poor. May the Lord stir our hearts to do as He has commanded in Jesus name.
