God’s Truth for Trying Times - 1/21/22

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 2:13 

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. [Ephesians 2:13 ESV]

CONSIDER: God brings his chosen ones (elect) to himself by grace alone, because of his sovereign good pleasure in sending his Son to die for lost sinners, thereby purchasing his church by his own blood.

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.
