Matt 4:1-11 Part 1

Discipleship Habit 03 Devotional Life
Discipleship Reflection Question: Do you set time aside on a regular basis to be alone, commune and build up your personal relationship with God?
Matt 4:1-11 Part 1
• Reflect on Matt 4:1, what are at least 3 questions that come to mind from this verse? (Remember Rudyard Kipling’s poem which helps think of good questions to ask.
"I keep six honest serving men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.

• How do you experience the leading by the Spirit? (If you don’t know or can’t see when you do then spend some time asking God to give you insight into this.)
• Henry Blackaby suggest there are a number of sources of guidance: the Word of God through the Bible, the leading of the Holy Spirit through prayer, the circumstances of our life and the Wisdom of the Church eg other Christians. Which of these do you find easy? Which do you find hard?
• Think of one question or decision you need guidance about – how could you seek guidance in a way that is not natural or easy for you? (Stretch yourself.)
