Consider Why You Worship God

January 30, 2013            Exod 13–14, Matt 19:27–20:16, Ps 18:5–11, Prov 3:17–19

Exodus 13-14

As verse 9 says this was a reminder for all the senses. Do you see the correlation between this and the Lord’s Supper?

Why do we need to be reminded so often?

What was the purpose of all firstborns being redeemed to God?

Why did God provide light for them with His Presence?

Chapter 14

The Israelites had seen tremendous miracles, yet their eyes told them to be afraid.  They began to grumble. Why are we so apt to grumble and complain?

Just because we are saved does not mean we will not have issue to deal with on our journey of faith.

Hebrews 11:29

Notice they had to pass through the water before they could leave the land of Egypt. In the same way some 40 years later they will pass through the water to enter the Promised Land.

Matthew 19:27-20:16

Peter asks what he will get here and in Acts 3:16 he says this I can give. What is the change in his attitude?

Jesus reassures him, but at the same time warns him. He illustrates this warning in the parable in chapter 20:1-16.

What is the meaning of this parable?

What is your motive for service? Is it for reward or is it out of love?

Psalm 18:5-11

This part of the Psalm is all about God answered David’s prayer when he most needed it.

When has God answered your prayers?

Proverbs 3:17-19

Wisdom is like the tree of life to those that take hold of her. Consider that last verse here:

“The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens.”

Consider today the works and answered prayers of the Lord. Praise Him today.

Pray about your service to the Lord, what you do and why you do it.
