God’s Truth for Trying Times - 2/12/22

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 4:32 

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. [Ephesians 4:32 ESV]

CONSIDER: The way we please God is by reflecting the kindness and goodness of God in Christ, patterning our lives after how Christ has forgiven us in the gospel, freely, without merit, and of his own willful choice.

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.
