Outline:

  1. THE WORD OF THE LORD WAS RARE…
  2. RARELY SPELLS ROTTEN …AND GOD REJECTS ROTTEN!
  3. REVELATION TO THE RESCUE!

Reflection Questions:

  1. Would it honestly bother you to go an entire week without reading the Bible?  …Think of something that matters to you so much – that if you went a day without it – you’d go bonkers (e.g. your phone, food, water, air, acceptance, etc.).
  2. Think of 2 MEANINGFUL MOMENTS in your life …List 3 – 7 things that made them so Meaningful?
  3. Does the idea of being absolutely and forever given over to your own words, thoughts, and heart’s desires terrify you?  Why or why not?
  4. Do you RECEIVE God’s Word (i.e. the Person & Work of Jesus Christ [see Heb. 1:1-4])?  Specifically, do you RECEIVE God’s Personal Patience?  How are (or aren’t) you believing and applying God’s patience with you?
