Keep Your Eyes On Jesus

January 22, 2013            Gen 44:1–46:27, Matt 14:13–33, Ps 13, Prov 2:20–22

Genesis 44:1-46:27

Why did Joseph give this last test? What was he trying to learn?

How had their attitude changed over the years?

What bad traits has God taken from you over the years?

What can we learn from the attitude of Joseph? What can we learn about God from this story?

What would your response had been if you were Jacob and you were told not only was your son not dead, but he is a powerful man in Egypt?

God appears to Jacob one last time to encourage him. Why would God want them to go to Egypt?

We are given a list of the names here. In chapter 28 another list is give that includes the names of those born in Egypt as well.

Matthew 14:13-33

Jesus got away from the crowds after hearing the news of John’s death. We all need times away to spend time with God and with our families. When do you schedule time to be with God?

The feeding of the 5,000 is told in all four of the Gospels. What makes this account so important?

Again Jesus got away to pray. We are too busy not to pray my friends.

Why were the disciples afraid?

Why did Peter sink?

When do you take your eyes off of Jesus?

Psalm 13

In this Psalm David feels like the Lord has forgotten him. He prays to God to help him and then he rejoices in faith that God will answer his prayer. Do you have that kind of faith?

Proverbs 2:20-22

This chapter ends with a contrast of the wicked and righteous. Are you wise or foolish?

Pray about who you need to forgive in the way Joseph forgave his brothers.

Pray today the Bread of Life would feed you spiritually.

Pray that you can keep your eyes on Jesus.

Pray for God’s protection and strength.
