God’s Truth for Trying Times - 4/25/20

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: Hebrews 4:14-16

“Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭4:14-16‬)

CONSIDER: God is the one who goes on our behalf and intercedes for us. Jesus Himself, God in the flesh, is our only hope and only Savior. We must hold fast or confession of faith, because He sympathizes with our weakness. The sinless, sovereign Savior was tempted like we are. It's amazing that we are able to confidently go to God and receive His mercy and grace. He knows our every need.

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.
