God’s Truth for Trying Times - 6/30/21

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 Thessalonians 5:7-8

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. [1 Thessalonians 5:7-8 ESV] 

CONSIDER: Faith, love, hope of salvation. These are hallmarks and anchors for our souls. Faith protects us. So does love. And our minds must be fixed on our sure salvation.

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?
