GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD

Ecclesiastes 2:24-2624 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Philippians 4:6, 7

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

BEING GENEROUS

Acts 20:35 “…it is more blessed to give than to receive."

Matthew 5:22

"Whoever nurses anger against a brother has committed murder"

UNDERSTANDING THE SACRIFICEOF JESUS

Matthew 18:34-35

34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

• What is your attitude towards your own sin? How do you see it as a relational offense or betrayal against God?

• How have you seen sin affect your own relationships?

REFLECTION

• How actively do you practice confession and forgiveness in your own life?

• How quickly are you able to resolve conflict and forgive others (or how do you have tendencies to avoid conflict and be a false peace keeper)?

BE FORGIVING
