Bible Study

Editor's Note:

As we learn of and grow in the Lord, let our faith be not in our own abilities, but in God, His Love, Wisdom, Justice, and Mercy; His Living Word, His Son and His Holy Spirit, and His desire and ability to bless those who love Him far and exceedingly beyond what we could expect or imagine.

I hope your heart will be touched as you watch and listen to what others have to say; as you study writings about the Lord; and as you search the scriptures for God's Truth and receive His Promises through His Living Word. How blessed are those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord to have such a wonderful Savior. I hope also that those of you who are still learning about Jesus, and the gift God has given us in Him, that you too will decide to receive Him as Lord of your life, and give Him full reign to teach you, change you, and guide you in His ways.

May you experience an ever-increasing awareness of the Lord's Abounding Love for you right in the midst of every challenge you face. As your sensitivity and responsive obedience to His guidance increases, may you find your heart and lips overflowing with praises for the Lord's Wisdom, Mercy, and Grace. Lord, help us daily to recognize and give thanks for your many blessings.
