Prayer
Listen for the repeated word in the Bible verses.
1. Am I striving to please God or man?
2. Do I earnestly seek God until He gives me understanding?
3. How can I help others to get excited about following Jesus?Ecclesiastes 2:22-23 NIV
”What do people get for all the toil and anxious motivation (striving) with which they labor under the sun? All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.“
1. Am I striving to please God or man?
Proverbs 2:1-5 NIV
”My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and motivate (applying) your heart to understanding— indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.“
2. Do I earnestly seek God until He gives me understanding?
Hebrews 10:23-25 NIV
”Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may motivate (spur) one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.“
3. How can I help others to get excited about following Jesus?
