Topic: Learning From God
Memorise: For finding fault with them, he saith. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Hebrews 8:8
Read: Genesis 2:18-22 (KJV)
Bible In One Year: Jeremiah 9-10, 1 Timothy 3
MESSAGE:
Why did God produce an imperfect covenant when He could have given us the perfect one once and for all? Why would God not choose the better alternative first, why allow the least suitable to take on the job? The truth is that God deliberately refuses to choose the best at first just to make room for you and me. If God will choose the most qualified, many of us won’t be where we are.
Another reason God allowed the Old Covenant rather than adopt the New Covenant from the beginning is because He was trying to teach us lessons in humility and integrity. If God can admit that the Old Covenant has ‘mistakes’, why are we finding it difficult to admit our mistakes? If God can make another attempt or effort towards achieving His goal, why do we find it difficult to make subsequent attempts after the previous ones flopped? Learn to accept your mistakes so that you can learn from them and move on.
Key Point: When last did you say ‘sorry’? When last did you admit that someone else’s idea is better than yours?
Hymn 13:
1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?
Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying
The Savior who does on the cross
3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation?
To those who are dying in sin?
4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.
