God’s Truth for Trying Times - 8/30/21

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: James 4:1

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? [James 4:1 ESV] 

CONSIDER: Other people are not at fault for your issues and your conflict. You have a part in them and there is a way out, but first you must realize that you are stuck. You must realize when there is a battle raging in your soul.

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?
