Empowered Bible Studies: Looking Back and to New beginnings

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.

Looking Back and to New beginnings

As the year comes to an end, we have a tendency to look back on everything that happened during the year and we start to make resolutions as to what we are going to do for the new year coming in.

The most important thing to ask ourselves as we look back would be 'Has our relationship with God grown since the beginning of the year?', 'Have we lived our lives, to the best of our ability with the opportunities God has set before us, for Christ?' Ephesians 2:10 'For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'

Then as we look forward to the coming of the new year we are reminded of Proverbs 27:1 says 'Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.' We need to live a day at a time as we don't know what the next day will hold. Matthew 24:36 'but of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.' We never know when our last day may be, when the rapture will come and we stand before our Lord and answer to Him as to what we did in His name. Be a faithful servant and hear him say 'Well Done'. Be ready and live each day as unto the Lord.
