Thoughts on Today’s Reading

Grace, mercy and salvation from Christ to you.

The truth the New Testament writers wrote to the Christians proves as relevant today as in ancient times. A true understanding of God’s Word is reserved for all who search with open hearts. God promises to fill those who diligently seek Him with righteousness. Though the profound teaching in God’s Word is deeper and richer than we can fully comprehend, let’s trust the Holy Spirit to help us grasp eternal truth in new and fresh ways.

God’s Word in the New Testament has transformed people, churches, and even nations for more than two millennia. As we seek God through His Word, we discover His amazing grace. We come to love and trust Him more and more. As a result, God will deepen our faith and transforms our lives. May God cause us to be intentional to read expectantly and search God’s Word honestly, humbly, obediently, and prayerfully.
