Bible Study - Matthew 7

Read Matthew 7


- Don't judge others before considering your own flaws.
What area(s) of your own life do you need to critique?
- God can't help you unless you reach out to Him and recognize what He has already done for you. So He likes it when you look for Him, and He will answer.
Where are you not reaching to God, and abandoning your life to Him?
- You have freedom of choice, not freedom of circumstance.
- God knows the consequence for every option you face. But the choice is yours.
Which path will you chose? Weigh your options before you make a choice.
- Also, be wise in who you confide. Many will come to you claiming to be pure of heart, and good tidings. But look at what kind of fruit they yield.
Do you have good, Christian, believers to confide in?
- Act upon the words of Jesus, and you will prosper. But do nothing with His teachings and your works will be washed away.
 Do you apply God's words to your life?

Today I want you to learn how to hear from God, and to know what He is telling you, not what I am telling you. Take some time to pray before you read this, and as you go, write down some things that strike you as interesting, things that you can apply to your life.
