“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work”. 2 Ti 3:16-17 The scriptures can help you get where you need to be. Ac. 20:32, Jms. 1:21 Our faith must stem from God’s word. Jer. 10:23; Rm. 10:17

Some will resist and rebel against His way. 2 Kings 5:10, 11 You won’t get it on your own. Jer. 10:23 You must change your mind. Lk. 13:3; 1 Cor. 2:16 GOD’S WAYS ARE DIFFERENT ISAIAH 55:8, 9 They will not always mesh with human reasoning. Jsh. 6:1-5 You must accept God’s way as right. Pr. 3:5-7
