Bible Study: November 15, 2011

Numbers 6:24-26
New Living Translation (NLT)
24 ‘May the Lord bless you
and protect you.
25 May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
26 May the Lord show you his favor
and give you his peace.’
Often we hear someone speaking of "good luck" when
something good happens to them. They even think that
they are creating their own blessings in their lives as well.
How very wrong they are indeed!

James 1:16-17

New Living Translation (NLT)
16 So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
Also God's Blessings are not only given to us in this life,
but in the life to come as well! Therefore, never
forget the greatest blessing of them all, that being Eternal
Life with God in Heaven! A blessing that we will receive
through our Lord, Jesus Christ!
Ephesians 5:20
New Living Translation (NLT)
20 And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So, always give thanks and praise to your
Heavenly Father.
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" ~William A. Ward

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”
If you decided to repent of your sins and receive Christ today, welcome to God's family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.
  • Get baptized as commanded by Christ.
  • Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
  • Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
  • Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you.
  • Find a local church where you can worship God.
