God’s Truth for Trying Times - 7/6/20

 

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: Psalm‬ ‭145:19‬

“He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.”

‭‭(Psalm‬ ‭145:19‬)

 

CONSIDER: What is the desire of the one who fears God? They want the will of God. They want to worship God. They want to walk in the ways of God. Therefore, God hears their cry and rescues them. God doesn’t always give us what we want, but he always provides what we need. We fear or worship him and then cry out to him and receive salvation - free and unmerited grace and mercy bestowed upon us in the gospel, God putting our sin upon Christ at the cross and us putting our faith in Christ’s finished work.

 

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?
