The Egyptians in Exodus 1 were intent on enslaving the Israelites, wearing them down so that God’s chosen people would become disillusioned and not live up to their destiny. Of the original two million Israelites who received God’s invitation to enter the Promised Land, only two of those held accountable actually entered it!
Similarly, modern day Christians often hear and understand the promises of God each Sunday morning at church but then rarely choose to experience them in everyday life. In One in a Million, Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer invites us to change that pattern for good, living beyond our circumstances and expecting to see God move in miraculous ways day after day. Without a doubt, we can find and follow God’s purpose for our journey. We can make it to the Promised Land.
Because today's woman tends to spend more time on the computer than she might want to admit, I felt that by creating a blog, we as a group will be able to enjoy an opportunity to chat during the week about insights, questions, revalations, etc. that we might have as we go through the "One in a Million" bible study. Sometimes, we might find it easier to type a post than put ourselves out there with live faces looking at us. The blog is in no way intended to cut back on live discussions during the sessions on Monday evenings, but to provide an a additional forum for discussion. Hopefully, you will feel free to makes posts during the study which will enhance our experience as we see what God has to say to us through this Old Testament story. Looking forward to spending time with you on Monday nights!
