Scripture Picture – I Will Give Thanks

God Promises to Give Us His Peace

Yes, it’s good to read God’s Word. Yes, it’s good to receive it into our hearts, to think on its wisdom, to love its statutes, its precepts, its commandments, its decrees, its principles, and especially the God who gave them. 

Then, as we allow them to take root in our hearts and grow as we put them into practice, live our lives by them, walking with Him by faith, the seeds of sin will be choked out and its shame and guilt with them, leaving room for the full bloom of the peace of God. 

Scripture Picture – The Word of God is…

 
 
 
The word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and
spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the
thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12

God Promises Our Suffering Will Produce Hope

God Promises To Be With Us Always

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the 
Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am 
with you always, to the very end of the age. 
Matthew 28:19-20

God Promises to Be a Refuge

 
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold
in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust
in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who
seek you.
Psalm 9:9-10

Scripture Picture – The End of Suffering

“Not only that, but we rejoice in 
our sufferings knowing that
suffering produces
endurance, and endurance
produces character, and character
produces hope, and hope does not
put us to shame, because God’s 
love has been poured into our
hearts through the Holy Spirit
who has been given to us.”

Romans 5:3-5
