God Gives a Lot of Examples
“Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition.”
1 Corinthians 10:11

Ponder This
In the wilderness, when the children of Israel were coming out of Egypt and going to Canaan, they lived in sin, they fell into idolatry, and God destroyed many of them. First Corinthians 10:11 says, “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition.” God does certain things as examples. God says, “You want to know how I feel about murmuring? There’s an example. You want to know how I feel about hypocrisy and superficiality in the Church? There is an example.” God does these things sometimes as examples. Will we learn today?
- What examples of God’s people from the Bible help you learn how to follow God?
- What are some things you have learned not to do from the examples of others?
Practice This
Write out an example from the Bible that you can learn from in order to follow God rightly. Write out what happened in the biblical account and what takeaways you might learn from that account.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
