The people around us can impart wisdom and guidance when we are facing difficult circumstances. How we look to people in the Bible as a resource?
Look to People in the Bible
“For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.”
“The Bible is more than a book we should peek into on Sundays. The words and people mentioned in its pages serve as examples and encouragement to us as believers.
God’s Word is His personal letter to us.
The Bible is full of stories about people who suffer through life circumstances. God guides us through Jesus’ words but also through the accounts of other Bible characters. Let’s take a brief look at five well-known people in the Bible.
Paul
Paul originally persecuted Christians until he encountered the Lord on the road to Damascus. He was shipwrecked, beaten, arrested, given a “thorn” to tolerate for his entire life, and killed for his faith. He walked with Christ when it was difficult and when he stumbled.
Eve
Eve was created as a mate for Adam. When tempted by the serpent, she chose not to trust in God’s command. Yet God still used her as the mother of all humans. She was part of His plan for a relationship with humanity.
David
David is famous for fighting Goliath. He also outran Saul and continually showed him respect though Saul sought to kill David. David sinned with Bathsheba and cried out to God for forgiveness. He was known as a man after God’s own heart.”
