God’s Truth for Trying Times - 1/26/22

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 3:4-5 

When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.

[Ephesians 3:4-5 ESV]

CONSIDER: The Spirit of God revealed exactly what he wanted the church to know and believe. The gospel was not fully made known in other generations -- we can look back and see it now and we see a golden thread of gospel truth throughout the entire Bible, but it was not fully revealed in the past -- but in his perfect time God made it fully clear. Today, everyone is called to repent of their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.

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.
