Afternoon Bible Verse

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Some days just feel like we're in the midst of fighting a battle. Our schedules are too full, the plans we make fall apart, and the people we depend on let us down. We often consider these days just part of life.

Every day we have a choice: expect the worst so we aren't disappointed, or decide to live a victorious life as the children of God. This life is available to us only because God is greater than anything or anyone that can work against us.

This afternoon's verse reminds us that we have already overcome anything that might come our way—as long as we keep our focus on God and not on our problems.

God is with us no matter what we face… an angry coworker, a family member who is struggling, or our personal fears and insecurities. While we may feel like the world around us is spinning out of control, God is always constant and faithful.

How often do we forget that the God who created the universe and everything in it cares about every moment of our lives? Yes, this includes the times when we are feeling overwhelmed.

We can live in bold confidence, knowing victory is in front of us. We don't have to be overwhelmed or discouraged because God lives in us and is leading every step of the way.

Afternoon Prayer

Lord, I know you have a wonderful plan for my life. Sometimes the problems and situations that surround me distract me from the victorious life you have provided for me. In those moments, please remind me that I have overcome this life and all of its trials because Jesus has overcome the world. In Jesus' name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible study

According to a 2017 study by a research group, 87 percent of homes in the United States have a Bible. The average household has four or more Bibles. That's a lot to take in, especially considering that there are over 2,000 languages that still do not have their own translation of the Bible.

The Bible is 66 books of inspired, God-breathed scripture. Its words are useful in our daily lives and help us nurture a relationship with God. We can see God's faithfulness over thousands of years. We learn about His character and can study the life of Jesus. The Bible is truly invaluable.

The Word of God corrects us and shows us how our sin can lead us far from God. The Bible guides us when we face situations where we don't know what to do.

And the Bible equips us to live a life that honors God. Most of us have never experienced a time when we did not have access to the Bible. With websites and smartphone apps, there are now dozens of translations at our fingertips 24/7.

Today, we can be encouraged as we study God's Word. It was given to us as a reminder of who God is and helps us learn about Him and become more like Him. We can open our Bibles today and begin to know God like never before.

Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer

God, thank you for giving me your Word. Forgive me for the times I have taken it for granted. Lead me to your Word when I need guidance and show me how to better live for you. Give me understanding and wisdom. Show me things that I have never seen before. Lord, please remind me to study your Word. I'm so grateful for this beautiful gift! In Jesus' name, amen.
