God’s Truth for Trying Times - 8/11/20

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: ‬ ‭‬‬2 Timothy‬ ‭3:12-13‬ ‭‬‬

“Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭3:12-13‬)

CONSIDER: When you want to live a life pleasing the Lord, you will suffer for it. While at the same time those who follow evil will get worse and worse. They will deceive people and be deceived themselves. This is strong encouragement to stay on the right path of the Word and suffer with 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?
