The Bible can be a constant source of strength and help. It was to Jesus when He faced the temptations Satan threw at Him immediately following His baptism. But what a different story that would have turned out to be had Jesus not known the Bible verses He quoted to Satan. The Bible can be a constant source of strength and help BUT you must know it to draw from it. At the least you must be familiar enough with it to find the answers you need when you need them. Only by becoming familiar with the Word of God can you rely upon it to help you overcome temptation to sin. When you are faced with a personal crisis or need encouragement you can find help in the Bible if you know where to look. DO NOT LET THIS BOOK OF THE LAW DEPART FROM YOUR MOUTH; MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT, SO THAT YOU MAY BE CAREFUL TO DO EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN IT. THEN YOU WILL BE PROSPEROUS AND SUCCESSFUL. (Joshua 1:8 NIV) Below are some examples of verses in the Bible that are helpful in particular circumstances . . . ➤ When you are afraid you need to know . . . 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV) For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. ➤ When you are suffering trials and adversities you should know . . . 1 Peter 4:12-13 (NIV) Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. Psalms 55:22 (NIV) Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Over the next few days I will share some more examples of things each of us should know about the Bible that can help us in particular circumstances. Every Christian who wants to grow spiritually should spend time reading and meditating God’s Word for himself.
