2 Korinter 6:10

Let us remember that Jesus himself spoke to his disciples saying, “In the world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” In general, as children of God, we are not exempt from affliction, trouble, or trial. We have a victorious life, but that does not stop us from going through grief as Paul taught. How we react to trials speaks louder than what we preach.

Over the course of 15 days, Paul David Tripp will remind you of God’s grace towards you—truths that never grow old. When “behavior modification” or feel-good aphorisms aren’t enough to make you new, learn to trust in God’s goodness, rely on His grace, and live for His glory each and every day.

I denne bibelleseplanen lener vi oss på kirkeårets tekster, og på rytmen av fastetid som strekker seg frem til påske. Fastetiden er som en indre vårrengjøring. Gjennom fastetiden blir lyset sterkere og dagene lengre. Under snøen forbereder naturen seg på at livet skal spire. På samme måte kan vi gjøre indre forberedelser/oppdagelser, for å oppleve at Guds gode gaver spirer frem i livet.
