God’s Truth for Trying Times - 7/13/21

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: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. [2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 ESV]

CONSIDER: The promised return of Jesus Christ, visible and bodily, will come in God's predetermined perfect time. We must not be deceived or dissuaded from this hope that we have as an anchor for our souls. We will know when Christ returns.

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?
