Thy Kingdom Come

THY KINGDOM COME session 6 79
DAY 1 • JEREMIAH 29:7
Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile.
Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
DAILY
DEVOTIONS
Developing our ability to serve God through
the leading of the Holy Spirit takes time and
persistence as we:
PRAY.
Commit to personal prayer and daily connection
with God. (You may find it helpful to write your
prayers in a journal.) Remember to pray for the
requests shared by your fellow group members.
MEMORIZE.
Reflect on what God is saying by learning a
passage of scripture.
DAILY DEVOTIONS.
Complete the Daily Devotions section. Each
day, you’ll read just one portion of a passage of
Scripture. Give prayerful consideration to what
you learn about God, His Spirit, and His place in
your life. Take your time! Listen to what God is
telling you. Ponder and reflect. Then record your
thoughts, insights, or prayer in the Reflect section
below the verses you read. On the sixth day record
a summary of what you have learned through this
study.
REFLECT:
This verse was originally written to the Israelites in exile; how can it also apply to us who
are separated from our home?
DAY 2 • 1 PETER 2:12
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong,
they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
REFLECT:
Are you reflecting the kingdom in your deeds and in your words? Do those who aren’t
part of the kingdom see something different about you?
DAY 3 • JOHN 15:19
if you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong
to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
REFLECT:
What does it mean to belong to the world? Why does the world “hate you” if you reflect
the kingdom instead?
