I like this book of Luke...Lots of red ink (JESUS TALKING!). In vers. 11:8 Juesus urges us to be bold. So often we are afraid to ask great things of God. NOW is the time. What is a bold prayer you have asked of God? How did he respond?
Sept. 29: Luke 12
Worry. Luke 12:28 'O ye of little faith'. Ouch. Jesus says directly that worry is a result of lack of faith. What do you worry most about? How can you be more faith 'full' in that area?
Sept. 30: Luke 13
Verse 13:6. God is patient with us but one thing he HATES for sure is when we are lukewarm Christians (Rev. 13:6). God wants Christians who produce fruit.
What does good fruit look like? Read John 15:1-8 for more info of what God is looking for!
Oct. 1: Luke 14
Ouch. Verse 25 is harsh. Bible commentaries call this 'hyperbole'. Meaning God wants to be SO first in our lives that other affections fall far behind. Count the cost. Jesus does not want people to follow him blindly or without knowing it is hard! WHat is some of the cost you have had to pay to follow Jesus? How has he rewarded you?
Oct. 2: Luke 15
How awesome is it that we have a God that searches for us until we are found, then CELEBRATES!
Write in your journal about how it makes you feel that the God of the universe is on a mission to win YOU to himself! That HE celebrates you!
Oct. 3: Luke 16
Verse. 16:15. What in our culture is 'highly valued among men but is detestable to God'?
Oct. 4: Luke 17
17:12 How many men who were ill met him in the village? Where did they stand?
17:13 What did they cry out to Jesus? What did they call Jesus to show they respected him?
