Bible Bits: January 17th


Bible Reading: Genesis 45:16-47:27

Daily Tidbits: We may not always see the effects of our faith, but we can be sure that God will honor our faithfulness. (Genesis 47:1-6)

Some reasons God doesn't answer prayers sooner:
  • Doubt (James 1:5-8; Mark 9:23)
  • Attempt to manipulate (1 Samuel 13:9-14)
  • Wrong motivation (James 4:3)
  • Disobedience (Psalm 81:10-12)
  • Lack of responsibility (Proverbs 19:19)
  • Rejecting God's method (Joshua 6; 2 Kings 5:8-14)
  • God's redirection (Genesis 37:39-50; Is. 43:19)
  • God's desire to teach us (Is. 48:18)

 
Jesus Calling Gems
"Search for all that I have prepared for you, anticipating abundan blessings and accepting difficulties as they come, I can weave miracles into the most mundane day if you keep your focus on Me...Stay in continual communication with Me, so that you can live with Me, so that you can live above your circumstances even while you are in the midst of them."
