The scripture reminds us,

    “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”

Encouraging words are precious. As we know, life is difficult and we all need help and support along the way. The man or woman who lives by the motto “I can handle it” soon discovers they cannot. There is no greater source of encouragement than from God’s word. His word teaches, trains, corrects and reproves us. (2 Tim. 3:16) Without God’s word the Christian is weak and defenseless. Yet with God’s word we have strength to face the struggles of life.

As we approach another Sunday, let me encourage you to join us in studying God’s word together. His word encourages us to assemble together. (Hebrews 10:25) As we do, we experience the love and acceptance of God’s people and the strength and direction we need from His word. So if you need an encouraging word, if you need some help in “handling it,” then join us Sunday as we gather together around God’s word.
