Bible Lessons

Stop.

Go outside, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and listen. Really listen and take 5-10 deep breaths.

Listen.

Peter went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening with the angel’s help was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.

Acts 12: 9

Reflect.

In this verse Peter was in prison and was set to be killed the next morning.  God had a promise to keep with Peter.  There was still work for Peter to do, so God sent an angel to get Peter out of prison. 

Does God’s promise still have work for me to do?  This is a constant question for many.  All I can do is my best and try to listen to the messages along the way.  In my most important job as a mom I try to teach my kiddos to listen.  I feel like I am constantly asking them to LISTEN.  Then they do something that shows they are listening.  They say something about a Bible story we’ve discussed or they are kind to someone that may not be kind to them, I get glimpses of God in them.

We use the JAM lessons to make it easy on us, I am so grateful for all the people that have been put in our lives and paths to bring each of us into the promises of God.  Even if you don’t have young kiddos the JAM lessons are such an awesome way to learn the Bible.  (You can sign up for the weekly lessons here).

Pray.

God you are great and wonderful!  Thank you for helping Peter so that we might continue to learn about You through him.  Thank you for Rachelle Gill and helping her so that we might continue to learn and You through her.  Be with us today as we strive to hear your promise in our lives. Amen!

Carry On.

Do something outside in nature, look for God.  Contemplate how God’s promise is showing in your life.
