Weekly Scripture 5-18-2025

Answer:

This comes from the Psalms

__:__Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

*This verse is the key to receiving the best that God has for you. He wants to bless us with the good things that He has for us! When our goal in this life is to do the will of God, He opens our eyes to see what we should desire and make our purpose in life for His good purposes. If He has opened your eyes to see what you should desire, are you going to waste time in making your God-given desire known in prayer and in action? I hope not.

Weekly Scripture 5-11-2025

Answer: Jonah 1:3

What verse of scripture does this come from in Jonah?

__:__But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

*A lot of people like to point their fingers at Jonah and talk about his disobedience in what God told him to do, and he did disobey. But, what about us?. We have a commission to take the glorious news of Jesus to the ends of the earth. But, often we do exactly what Jonah did and we go in the opposite direction. What about that time you had the opportunity to share Christ with someone at work, school, or somewhere else and you felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit in your heart, but you disobeyed and said nothing. Let's examine our own hearts and we will be able to understand Jonah's human side. Sadly, we as Christians often fall short of carrying out our commission the way God intends.
