Here’s a small group guide based on the sermon :

Small Group Guide: Recognizing Yahweh’s Daily Blessings

Opening Prayer: Begin with a prayer asking for wisdom and insight as you discuss the sermon.

Key Takeaways:
1. Yahweh provides daily blessings, often in subtle ways we might overlook.
2. Recognizing and appreciating small blessings helps us trust Yahweh in difficult times.
3. Contentment comes from relying on Yahweh’s daily provision.
4. Our weakness allows Yahweh’s power to be displayed more fully.

Discussion Questions:
1. The speaker shared a story about a stranger helping him shovel snow. Can you share an experience where you received unexpected help or blessing?

2. How do you typically respond when facing challenges? Do you tend to look for big, dramatic solutions or recognize small ways Yahweh might be working?

3. The sermon mentioned the Israelites and manna. How might gathering only enough for each day have built their faith? How can we apply this principle in our lives?

4. Discuss the verse from Lamentations 3:24: “I say to myself, ‘Yahweh is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.'” What does it mean to you personally?

5. How can recognizing daily blessings help us during times of trial or when facing our own “thorn in the flesh”?

6. The speaker emphasized contentment. What areas of your life do you find it hardest to be content? How might focusing on Yahweh’s daily provision help?

Practical Applications:
1. Daily Blessing Journal: Start a journal where you write down at least one blessing you notice each day, no matter how small.

2. Gratitude Prayer: Incorporate a time of specific thanksgiving for daily provisions in your prayer life.

3. “Yahweh is my portion” Reminder: Place this phrase somewhere you’ll see it regularly (phone wallpaper, mirror, etc.) to remind yourself to wait on Yahweh.

4. Blessing Others: Look for opportunities this week to be a “daily blessing” to someone else, as the stranger was to the speaker.

5. Worry Fast: Choose one day this week to consciously avoid worrying. When tempted to worry, recite Matthew 6:25-34 or Lamentations 3:22-24.

Closing Prayer: End by thanking Yahweh for His daily provisions and asking for help in recognizing and appreciating them more fully.

Here’s a 5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the themes from the transcription:

Day 1: Recognizing Yahweh’s Daily Provisions
Reading: Exodus 16:13-21
Devotional: Just as Yahweh provided manna daily for the Israelites, He continues to provide for us each day. Today, reflect on the “daily bread” in your life – the small blessings you might overlook. How has Yahweh sustained you recently? Practice gratitude for these provisions, recognizing that each one comes from Him. Challenge yourself to notice and thank Yahweh for at least three “small” blessings today.

Day 2: Contentment in All Circumstances
Reading: Philippians 4:10-13
Devotional: Paul’s words on contentment resonate deeply. He learned to be content in all circumstances, whether in plenty or in want. Consider your own life – are there areas where discontentment has taken root? Reflect on how trusting in Yahweh’s sufficiency can lead to contentment, regardless of your situation. Today, practice saying “Yahweh Is my portion, I will wait on Him” whenever you face a challenge or feel discontent.

Day 3: The Power of Recognition
Reading: Luke 23:39-43
Devotional: The thief on the stake recognized Yahshua for who He was, leading to his salvation. Sometimes, the simple act of recognizing Yahweh’s presence and work in our lives can be transformative. Today, intentionally look for evidence of Yahweh’s handiwork in your day. It might be in nature, in an unexpected kindness, or in a moment of peace. How does recognizing Yahweh’s presence change your perspective on your circumstances?

Day 4: Strength in Weakness
Reading: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10
Devotional: Paul’s thorn in the flesh reminds us that Yahweh’s power is made perfect in our weakness. Reflect on a current struggle or weakness in your life. How might Yahweh be using this to display His strength? Instead of asking for the difficulty to be removed, try praying for Yahweh’s grace to be sufficient and His power to be made perfect in this situation. How does this shift your perspective on your challenges?

Day 5: Waiting on Yahweh
Reading: Lamentations 3:22-26
Devotional: “Yahweh is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.” This powerful statement reminds us of Yahweh’s faithfulness and our need to trust in His timing. Reflect on an area of your life where you’re waiting on Yahweh. How can you actively wait with hope and expectation? Practice saying, “Yahweh, You are my portion” throughout the day, especially in moments of impatience or doubt. Allow this truth to anchor your soul as you wait on His perfect timing.
