As believers, we are God’s children. A child of God will reflect His character. Each week, we focus on one scripture while highlighting a declaration (Who God is) and affirmation (Who we are as believers).
This week’s scripture is:
The words of the Lord are pure words,
Psalm 12:6 ESV
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
Declaration
God’s words are pure and true.
Affirmation
I trust in the Word of the Lord.
There’s this saying that trust is built over time. What’s interesting is that God was here before time. He is the most trustworthy being that we could ever find, yet we still don’t trust Him. The Bible is God-inspired and filled with stories of God’s character. For generation after generation, we see His neverending love and mercy for disobedient people. As we take the time to study God’s Word, we find that He is trustworthy again and again.
A Prayer Starter…
Heavenly Father, You are trustworthy. From before the beginning of time, You have shown Yourself to be kind, loving, and merciful. Thank You for the gift of Your Word. It has served as a constant reminder of Your true nature. Lord, help us to turn to Your word for the truth and not the world. May our trust for You grow as we continue to seek Your face… In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The passage illustrates the importance of being a beacon of light in dim, dark places, as guided by Luke 11:33-36. One must not let comfort lead to dulled awareness, but instead consciously illuminate one’s environment. It urges self-reflection on how one’s personal light can lead others towards embracing Jesus.
The Lord’s Prayer 11 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone
The Beatitudes 20 And He raised His eyes toward His disciples and began saying, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your
I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination. In this passage, we find Jesus as a child, so focused on His Father’s business that he wanders off from his parents. In my own life, I’ve found that I’m not prone to wander towards my father’s business….but away from it.
If you or someone close to you is in need, we would be honored to lift you up in prayer. We believe in the power of prayer to bring peace, comfort, and reassurance during times of hardship. Our community is ready to join together and pray as we trust in God’s love and unending grace.
