This is meant to be used for devotional purposes during Lent. Grab a journal, read the passage, pray, look at the questions, think about your answers and then journal.
Thoughts for the Week:
What does it mean that God works in mysterious way? Are God’s mysterious ways sometimes hard to
understand and see?
Day
1: 1
Samuel 16:1-13
Has God
ever asked you to do something that went against the way things are normally
done?
Have
you ever been one of David's brothers?
What
does it feel like when you are not chosen?
Have
you ever been David?
What
does it feel like when you are the chosen one?
Have
you ever been Samuel?
Has God
ever surprised you with the things and people that God chooses?
Day
2: Psalm
23
What
does this passage actually say?
Read it
again slowly, pay attention.
What
does the valley of the shadow of death look like in your life?
Do you
let God comfort you?
What
does God's table look like in your life?
If
goodness and mercy are following you, what would it mean for you to slow down,
or stop, so they can catch up with you?
What is
God saying that God wants to for and with you in this passage?
Day
3: John 9:1-41
Does
this man seek out Jesus?
Has God
ever come to you or done good in your life before you even asked?
How do
you think this man felt when he was in the middle of these events? When they
were questioning him and his parents?
Do you
think it felt like his life was better or worse there in the middle of
everything?
Sometimes
is it hard for your to trust that God has actually performed miraculous things
in your life and the lives of those around you?
Day
4: Ephesians
5:8-14
What
did walking in darkness look like in your life?
What
does it mean to be a child of the light?
How is
your life light now compared to the former darkness?
What do
you think are unfruitful works?
Do you
ever find yourself participating in such things?
