Thoughts on Today’s Reading

Grace, mercy and love from Christ to you.

Believing God’s truth that is revealed in the Bible will deeply ground the life of every believer. Through His Word, God provides true comfort for pain and helpful guidance for life’s confusion. When we believers open the Bible to read, we will find eternal truths that provide a framework for every circumstance we face. We learn to trust God more when we read His Word and take it to heart because Scripture reveals His unchanging character, proven faithfulness, and multifarious wisdom.

Our strength grows as God’s truth stretches and challenges us. God’s Spirit helps us understand God’s Word which cleanses us with the washing of the water in the word to make us glorious in God’s eye, renews us in the spirit of our minds, and transforms us into the likeness of Jesus, who loves us and will never leave us. Let’s long to understand God more deeply and long to be more like Jesus every time when we read God’s Word.
