Welcome to Kendra Graham’s online Bible study. This is a place where women can come together and share their journey towards Scriptural truths and spiritual maturity. We pray this will be a safe, respectful, resourceful place to come and discuss God’s Word…to discover What it says…what it means…and what it means to you!
Kendra suggests you use the following process when studying Scripture. We have included an example of this process from John 1:1.
Always begin your time by first praying and reading your verses.
Step 1: What Does God’s Word Say? (list the facts)
1 In the beginning the Word was with God and was God.
Step 2: What Does God’s Word Mean? (learn the lessons)
1 God‘s Word is not just ancient philosophy, it is eternal Truth.
Step 3: What Does God’s Word Mean to Me? (listen to his voice)
1 How do I view the Bible?
Today’s Scripture: Deuteronomy 32: 4, 9-12
Here are a few of Kendra’s lessons. Please share your lessons with us too!
Verse 4:
Step 1: ROCK! His work is perfect, His ways just, faithful, righteous and upright
Step 2: God says: This IS my immovable unchangeable character. I AM trustworthy, I AM protective! My ways are right, I got you, TRUST ME!
Step 3: God is telling me that He is safe, and just and right, solid, never changing w/ the wind of culture… Do I claim the promise of His character in my life? Do I know My God? Do I trust God? How, When have I trusted Him?
Verse 9:
Step 1: The LORD’s portion (inheritance) is His people.
Step 2: I say: I am an embarrassment to God. I have nothing to offer. There are so many more important people and issues than me for God to deal with.
GOD says: YOU ARE MY treasure! MY inheritance! I am PROUD to claim you! I have chosen YOU!
Step 3: Do I realize that I am God’s inheritance and He is proud of that fact? God is not embarrassed to claim me, am I embarrassed to claim Him? Do I feel like treasure to God?
Verse 10:
Step 1: He found him in a desert, howling wilderness. He encircled, cared for and guarded him as the apple of his eye.
Step 2: I say: I have been rejected, kicked out, forgotten, left to the elements, unimportant and very very alone.
God says: I AM here with My arms around you, holding you up, caring for you in the midst of your misery, very aware of where you are, and you are not alone, I AM here. I found you and will guard you with all that I AM, for you are the apple of My eye, you mean everything to ME!
Step 3: What is keeping me from seeking the One who loves me this much? What causes me to believe the lie that God has left and doesn’t care? LORD, will you show me You are here today in my circumstance? Where have I looked for love & acceptance in this world only to be let down b/c it was not You?
