Day four of each week has extra Bible study questions that are not in the Bible Study Guide. These are for on-line Bible study participants who want to dig a little deeper.
1. Do you remember how you confided in and whispered secrets to your girlfriends when you were a little girl? Perhaps you still do. What does Psalm 25:14 tell you that God will whisper to you?
2. How does that relate to Jeremiah 33:3?
3. Read Isaiah 48: 1, 12, 16. What did God tell them to do time and time again? Why did He want them to listen? Was it something He wanted from them or for them? 48:17-19
4. What did Jesus tell us about how to expect Him to speak to us? John 10:1-14., especially vs 3-5 and 14-15.
Who are the sheep Jesus mentions in 10:16?
One beautiful aspect of sheep herding is that the shepherd does not drive the sheep as with cattle. He goes ahead of the sheep and calls them to follow. They follow him because they know his voice. Doesn’t that just give you chills!
5. God does speak through the whispers in our hearts, but He also shouts through creation. Read Psalm 29 and note what the Psalmist said about the voice of the God.
6. Read and record John 8:32. The word “know” in this verse is a very intimate word. It is a word akin to the way Adam “knew” Eve (Genesis 4:1) and the way God knows you (Psalm 139:1-3). How is this type of knowing different from a casual acquaintance?
When we have a conversation with God as we read the Scripture, we can approach it intellectually or relationally. Which type of conversation would you rather have with Jesus today?
7. What one truth from this lesson impacted you the most today. Share your answer in the comment box.
