How did the principle of two-way communication (prayer and Bible reading) impress you? Why?
-
I learned to do the principle two-way communication at a later time. In the past I remember it was all about what I wanted and needed. I woke up when a major decision had to be made and I lifted this up to the Lord and waited. When I felt his presence and needed to make the decision, I didn’t like what he wanted me to do, but I did it reminded me of Abrahams story of when God asked him to sacrifice his son. That was a big part of my relationship with God and the time I now spend with Him.
-
I felt quite guilty after reading that part. I never realized how selfish I was being. I plan to talk to Him often now about what I’m reading/studying and what He wants me to know.
-
If I don’t study (not just read) the Bible, I feel like my prayers are a one-way conversation with God. Just me talking to Him, making my petitions known, but not hearing from Him. And the only way I can hear from Him is if I study and meditate on His Word.
-
Yes, prayer and Bible reading always bring God’s message daily. Reading my Bible is His way to communicate with me. Feeling good to pray always and receive spiritual guidance.
-
I think us human beings make communicating with God so mystical and complicated when this showed how simple it is.
