Empowered Bible Studies: Today I saw the Lord!

Welcome to Empowered Bible Studies

Bible study is essential to our Christian walk. As we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives. This is what has inspired me to do an online Bible study.

Many years ago my husband introduced me to a commentary on the book of Colossians and I was so blessed as the Scripture came to life before my very eyes. Since that day we have developed an extensive library and enjoy studying God's Word.

I have prepared some Bible studies that I would like to share with you. My prayer is that they will bless you as much as they have blessed me in preparing them. I pray your life is touched and that it would inspire you to live every moment of every day for Christ.

Today I saw the Lord!

In the hustle and bustle of the world so many times we have blinders on our eyes and don't see the world around us. We are so busy with our own lives that we don't see the hurting, the suffering and the hungry. I love a comment that one of my dear facebook friends posted on my page; Raf said: 'Today I saw the lord, I saw a young boy helping an elderly woman to her feet when she fell over, people walked past but he was the light who helped her up, the lord came through him bless his soul'.

It reminds me of the story in Luke 10:25-37 where a man was attached by robbers and left to die; no one would help him; they saw him but ignored him as they passed him by. Finally a Samaritan came upon him in his journey, saw him but did not ignore him, instead he helped him and took care of him. And Jesus said 'go and do likewise'. In Matthew 25:35 it talks about how when you give food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, cloth the needy, visit the sick and those in prison - that you are doing it as unto the Lord. My friend, reach out and be a light in this dark world - show kindness - show Christ's love. Let people see Christ through you!
