A NEW BIBLE STUDY UPDATE

Sometimes when we are facing difficult situations and dire circumstances it becomes very hard in hearing from God on what to do. How many times have as a Christian we have thought we heard from God about a particular decision, direction, or choice only to find out it was the wrong one. Not being in the perfect Will of God for your life has tremendous consequences. I know for I have made numerous wrong choices in my life simply by simply not putting my plans before God and hearing from Him.

Last night's Bible study was truly uplifting, because it focused on understanding of how God speaks to His people. The main text of scripture cam from Exodus 14 in which Moses and the children of Israel came to the Red Sea and had no where else to go because the Egyptians were bearing down on them. You see the circumstances looked dire and there was no way out and it looked as if they would die right there. But Moses prayed and God answered by opening the Red Sea giving His people a way out.

Many people are facing such dire circumstances today because of the economic, financial, or health problems. Now I am not saying that God will make all those situations go away instantly and pain will not be felt, but the Lord Jesus will be there with us to give us the strength to go through it. We must understand that God Speaks through one of 5 ways: 1) God will speak to you the specifics of His will for you when and if you need to know 2) God speaks through circumstances that teach us to pray and wait for His open door (Exodus 14: 13 -16)
3) You cannot know the truth of your circumstances until you hear from God (Exodus 14: 21-22) 4) We must see God's perspective that He is accomplishing His Divine will in our lives (Exodus: 14- 23-29)
5) We are to allow God to speak and reveal His will to you through the reading of His Word (Exodus 15: 1-6)

I know that when you draw close to God he will draw closer to you.
