Remember WhenSýnishorn
The Bible is full of really important stories. But sometimes when we read these stories of people who lived such a long time ago, we're not sure how their stories relate to our lives today. So let's take one of their stories and see how it relates to your story, and God's story too.
THEIR STORY
Take some notes about the story in today's passage of Scripture.
- Who is this story about? (There might be more than one person!)
- What happens to them?
- What do they learn?
- How is God involved in their story?
YOUR STORY
Now think about your story.
- Who did you relate to most in the story you just read and why?
- Have you ever experienced anything similar to the story you just read?
- How is your story different from the story you just read?
- Have you ever had to learn a similar lesson?
- Has God ever been involved in your story in a similar way?
GOD'S STORY
So what is the story God is trying to tell, both in the story you just read and in the story of your life right now? You can find it if you look for the ways your stories overlap.
NEXT STEPS
- How can you offer gifts of thanks to God for Jesus today?
- Why is it sometimes difficult to give them? What can you do to change that?
- Thank God for the gift of Jesus, and consider what you can give in return. Ask God to reveal a meaningful way to give that requires some sacrifice.
