Bible Basics part 3--How To Use The Bible When In Need Of Consolation
One of the best ways to use the Bible, is to find help and consolation in a time of need. There is so much wisdom and love on these pages and there is comfort in knowing that God has put them there, not only for the lessons for man in the old testament or back in the time of Christ...but for all times and all people...
The Bible, although it may have been written thousands of years ago, still speaks to us today in our day and time. Verses you may have read over and over again, will speak to you differently when you need them to most.
It is truly the Living Word of God.
Here are some of my favorite verses of the Bible. That I have found to be especially poignant in my life.
They are helpful in times of adversity and inspirational when I needed strength, forgiveness, hope, love, trust, encouragement and peace. I hope that they will be helpful in your life as well.
