God’s Truth for Trying Times - 12/30/21

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 Timothy 6:6-7 

But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. [1 Timothy 6:6-7 ESV]

CONSIDER: Loving Jesus with a contented heart is the secret to a blessed life in Christ. Realizing that you brought nothing with you into this world and you will take nothing out of it is a great comfort. Everything we need we have in Christ.

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.
