Daily Bible Study with Purpose

Hebrews 13:2 “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”

🔴 Welcome to Your House!

Usually, when you are welcoming someone to your house, you offer them a seat. For the first time, I witnessed a different group of people at the White House that stood the entire time. It is possible that seating wasn’t offered before; however, it was quite obvious this time.

Are you given to hospitality?

Do you have a welcoming Spirit that people want to be around you?

How comfortable do you try to make others feel that they are different from you?

People sense being tolerated or if in a hostile environment.

What messages are you sending to those entrusted to you?

Is it love, warmth, genuine interest, and kindness?

Are you willing to listen to other people’s concerns even when you think it does not affect you?

Are you your brother’s keeper?

James 2:16 “And one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?”

As believers made in God’s image, we should want to be more like Him and take on His attributes and His character.

Romans 12:13 “Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.”

When Jesus saw that people were hungry, He fed them; when thirsty, He gave them water to drink.

Matthew 25:37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 1 Peter 4:9

🟥The Message:

The Bitterness of Fear:

Mentoring is a long-term process based on mutual trust and respect.

Can we have a better Mentor, Father, or Counselor than God?

Who better to model our lives after than Christ! It says in Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord and abundant in power, His understanding is beyond measure.

“Ulterior motives will take time away from cultivating relationships in fertile soil; instead, it will counterfeit love by replacing it with temporary happiness.” -Torrie Slaughter

Meditate plan mentally; consider: to think carefully about something.
Think carefully and consider God’s Word every moment of every day. He does not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self-control. To be transformed by the renewing of our minds means we must do our work. Clarifying, organizing, and preparing to do our assignment each day takes strategic planning with God.

🟥 Take Action

Recap of Part One:

We opened with acknowledging Fear has experience. It has a resume. And I asked: “What does it say to you?” I wondered if you had hired Fear? We defined mentoring as the long-term process based on mutual trust and respect, recognizing God as the ultimate Mentor, Counselor, and Father. Having Christ as the perfect role model! Great is our Lord.
We concluded that session by reading several scriptures, and I asked you to read with God as the central person as you meditated on His Word.

We can practice reading the Bible with God as the primary person spoken about or the reason behind the events. When we do that, we see a story unfold in a way that produces love, answers questions, and gives us hope that we will see a glorious future in the heavenly realm.

What will you do today to facilitate the renewal of your mind?

How will you take action to implement the things God has purposed for you? Are you aligned with Him or following the world’s standard of success?

Colossians 2:14 By canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

Psalm 90:12 “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. “
