The Word of God is Our Instruction Manual

Hebrews 4:14-16, "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to hlep in time of need."

Philippians 4:4-8, "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy -- meditate on these things."

Colossians 3:1-4, "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory."

Pray with me.
Lord Jesus, as we meditate on Your Word, please renew our minds and teach us how to deal with our emotions. Remind us to seek You first whenever we encounter struggles or failures, disappointments or grief. Teach us to take every thought captive and make them obedient to you. Train us to run to you and not to run from you, for you will always forgive, always love, and always meet our emotional needs. In Your Name, Amen.

Love, Karen
