This week's lesson: Stay Focused on The Goal - Numbers 32:1,5-8, 16-18, 20-24; 33:51-53
Biblical Truth: While believers may have personal goals and plans for themselves and their families, they are to stay focused primarily on fulfilling God's purposes for His people.
It's Not About Just Me and Mine - Num. 32:1, 5-8
We can stay aligned with God's purposes by resisting the temptation to do only what's good for ourselves, especially when such actions contribute to discouraging others from following the Lord.
It's About Helping Others, too - Num. 32:16-18
We demonstrate that our focus is on fulfilling God's purposes when we take steps to help others know and follow God's purposes too.
It's About Fulfilling An Obligation - Num. 32:20-24
We show a deep sense of spiritual obligation when we commit to fulfilling God's purposes over our wants and plans.
It's About Living As God's People - Num. 33:51-53
We can stay focuses on fulfilling God's purposes by worshiping only Him and working to make Him known wherever we live.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES...
