Scripture Memory Verse 3

Hi ya'll! I know, I know, I'm a couple of days late AGAIN! I'm sorry! But, let's get right to it!

So, lately I've been noticing more and more just how much people take scripture out of context. This drives me NUTS!!!! There is a REASON God put one verse next to another. There is a REASON that He put these chapters and books together the way He did! DON'T TAKE IT OUT OF CONTEXT!!! I'm convinced that if there is one way we can quickly reduce God's glory, it is by taking His Word out of context...

Alright, now that I've ranted a bit, let's get down to the next verse:

"For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Romans 15:4

How reasuring! God wrote everything before just to encourage us! I love that! Lately, I've noticed that I need more and more encouragement. As this world continues it's downward spiral, it is inevetable that we'll end up with a whole heap of psycological disorders. However, for those of us in Christ, we have the most encouraging "self-help" book that was ever written! Praise the Lord! With His amazing love story we can find hope and the reason to continue on in this world! The enemy has many, many ways to trap us in a pit; but our God and His gracous compassion has given us the weapon to fight back and brace ourselves against the attack.

Praise You Lord, that you give us all that we need to triumph over the enemy! Thank you!
