Show Notes

God’s Word, the Bible, is the source of all tRuth No matter what we’re feeling or facing, we can run to Scripture to find answers. Feeling unloved? Remember God sent His Son to die to save you (John 3:16). Feeling down? Remember God’s people have faced hard things all throughout time and He has been with them through it allas seen in countless accounts in the Bible. Feeling stressed? Remember God even takes care of birds and has promised to take care of His people (Matthew 6:25-26). Feeling persecuted? Remember the apostle Paul and many others were often persecuted for their faith. We expect persecution when we share the gospel, but we do not live in fear because Jesus is with us (Luke 12:11-12; John 15:18-25). Feeling worried? Remember God sees you and knows you and knows the future (Romans 8:28; 1 Peter 5:7; 1 John 3:20). When you are feeling any kind of fear or pain, remember God is with you (Matthew 28:20). When you are feeling nervous about the decisions you have to make, when you are trying to figure out how to respond to those who are being cruel to you, or whatever it is you are facing, look to Him for guidance. He’s given us His Word, which is filled with the true story of how He is bringing salvation from sin and death for all who put their trust in Him. In its pages, we find answers, encouragement, and hope to help us respond in a God-honoring way in any situation. When you are feeling unloved, down, stressed, or persecuted, God’s Word can help you through it. Bethany Acker What Scripture passages do you love most? What questions do you have about the Bible? Who are trusted Christians in your lifesuch as pastors, parents, counselors, or teacherswho you can bring those questions to? All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)
