Scripture Picture – I Will Give Thanks

 
 
“I will give thanks to you,
LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your
wonderful deeds.” Ps 9:1

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

“Not only so,
but we also glory
in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering 
produces perseverance;
perseverance, character;
and character, hope.”

Romans 5:3-4
