The Vineyard- November 10, 2013

The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Genesis 21:1-34
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
Read the passage. 
-          God Delivers Promised Blessings
o   Sometimes we resent God for not giving us things, but we forget that God promises us very few things. 
o   Though God promises few things, they are the most important things.  How does God’s promise of salvation help us endure all of life’s other disappointments?
-          Learning to Live with Blessings
o   Have you ever had a time in your life where you got exactly what you wanted, but there were unforeseen consequences?
o   What challenges do we face in trying to learn how to live with the blessings God has given us?
-          Anticipating the Future
o   Both Abraham and Hagar work to prepare for the future God has promised their descendants.  In what ways are you working for the future?  Is your mind focused more on heaven, or on earth?
Thank God for delivering on His promise to provide salvation. 
Pray that God will teach you how to manage your blessings in a way that glorifies Him.    

Pray that God will help us live in a way that demonstrates our faith in the future He has prepared for us.
