Exposing Sources of Pain to Receive Healing

What should you do when you find something in God’s Word that you cannot reconcile with what you know to be true of His character or something that you cannot understand?

-Draw closer to His Word–thoroughly search out the deeper meanings. 

-Hold tightly to what you know is true of His character.

-Believe that He is hiding good truth for you to be revealed at the right time. 

Questions for Reflection:

-Have you been struggling with how to respond to a particular portion of God's Word by either avoiding Him or creating your own response to "fix" something you think He got wrong?

Is there anyone in your life who you are using as a resource rather than offering them a genuine relationship?

-Are you avoiding giving God your best in worship for any reason, or are you judging the worship of someone else as being incompatible with their shortcomings?

-Is your lived experience shaping how you view the world around you more than God's Word is?
