Psalm 119:73- Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.
! Peter 4:10-11- 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

DISCUSSION GUIDE

When the sons and daughters of God possess a healthy perspective fruitfulness results and the world becomes a better place.
The spirit of Ishmael (heart of an orphan) wars against the spirit of Isaac (heart of a son). This seems to be the dominating spiritual battle on the earth.
John 14:18-21 “I will not leave you as orphans… The one who loves me will be loved by my Father...” NIV
God’s plan is for us to hear the Father’s voice together as a family. This is why we start each group with this as our first question:
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. Where are you reading in your Bible and what are you sensing from God in this season of your life?
2. Who is someone you would consider as a very close relationship?
3. What are some differences between you and this person with whom you are close?
We must that our differences with others contribute to the unique design of the relationship. Learning to relax and be uniquely you is how you contribute to the world around you.
You’ll never stand out if you keep trying to fit in!
1 Peter 4:10-11 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. NLT
DISCUSSION QUESTION:
4. Reflecting on 1 Pet 4:10-11 what is a gift you have that you use to serve others?
Esther was not just a Jewish woman, a wife and a queen. She was a woman of God.
Her deepest sense of identity was her greatest source of strength.
When your focus is off your perspective will shift. Esther had to be true to who God had called her to be. When we know who we are before God we’ll stop trying to prove who we are before man.
