God’s Truth for Trying Times - 10/12/21

 

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: 1 John 3:19-20

By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. [1 John 3:19-20 ESV] 

  

CONSIDER: God gives assurance to his chosen children through the Spirit-applied word.  God is greater than our hearts -- which means that even if your heart feels a certain way, objective truth drives everything and saves the day. God knows everything and he knows what he's going to do and he knows how he is keeping you for his own purposes. That's the hope and assurance every Christian has.

 

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?
