HEART PHYSICS
Spiritual introspection and biblical interpretation.
Introduction
This workbook is designed to help you deepen your understanding of key concepts in Christian faith, specifically the nature of sin, iniquity, and transgression, through scripture readings, reflection, and action points. Each section is structured to guide you through about 30 minutes of engagement, encouraging growth in your spiritual journey.
Session Outline
1. Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 15 (10 minutes)
Read the entire chapter. As you read, focus on the themes of obedience, rebellion, and God’s expectations.
2. Reflection Questions (10 minutes)
Take time to reflect on the following questions. Write down your thoughts in a journal or notebook.
What does Saul’s failure to fully obey God reveal about the nature of rebellion?
How does fear of man influence our decisions today, as it did with Saul?
Identify any “internal covenants” you might have made that lead to rebellion against God’s standards. What are they?
3. Key Scripture Insights (5 minutes)
Reflect on these key verses and what they teach about obedience and rebellion:
1 Samuel 15:22-23: “To obey is better than sacrifice... For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft...”
Psalm 51:1-2: “Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.”
4. Action Points (5 minutes)
Consider implementing the following action points in your life this week:
Pray for Awareness: Ask God to reveal any hidden areas of rebellion in your heart.
Journal Your Thoughts: Keep a daily journal for one week, reflecting on your actions and decisions. Note any instances where you may be acting out of fear or rebellion.
Accountability Partner: Share your reflections with a trusted friend or mentor who can help guide you in accountability and growth.
