God’s Truth for Trying Times - 1/25/22

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: Ephesians 3:1-3 

For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles-- assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly.

[Ephesians 3:1-3 ESV]

CONSIDER: God is the revealer of gospel truth and he revealed the mystery previously hidden to Paul to pass on to the church for all time. God's word is perfect and without error and binds the conscience such that we must obey it. The grace of God has been revealed in the gospel and the will of God is revealed in his word.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?

PRAY: Pray these verses to God as a prayer. Pour out your heart in praise to God. Pray for others. Present needs to Him.
