BIBLE STUDY WEEK 1 (RESPONDING TO "BLESS ME INDEED")


 
These blessings are based on the nature and character of God. He simply desire to give! (Read Exodus 14:6 to see God's self-portrait.)  And it is His will that we want all of what he has to give.  (you can find this on pages 11-15)

This is what I learn about God's desire to bless me.

I Corinthians 2:9
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

He is waiting to bless us; eagerly waiting.

Romans 8:28-30"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."

He predestinated our blessings because of His love for us.

Romans 2:4"Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"
His love for us is longsuffering so we can repent

James 1:17
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

God's love for us will never change; He loved us when we were in our sin, and surely He will love us while living a holy life unto Him, therefore, giving us what we need and desire according to His Word.  AMEN!
