“It’s CLARIFI-ABLE”

2 Timothy 3… ¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the servant of Godmay be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

WE ARE DECIDING THAT: This is my Bible: I am what it says I am; I have what it says I have; I can do what it says I can do. Today, I will be taught the Word of God. I’ll boldly confess. My mind is alert; my heart is receptive; I will never be the same.

Psalms 119…¹⁰⁵ Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

THE BIBLE NEVER SAYS…

(POINT ONE) THAT GOD WOULDN’T GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE 

1 Corinthians 10… ¹³ No temptationhas overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted^[d] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,^[e] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

2 Corinthians 12… ⁹ But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 

(POINT TWO) THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BE HAPPY

Psalm 37… ⁴ Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

(POINT THREE) THAT GOD WOULD MAKE YOUR LIFE EASY

John 16… ³³ “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

(POINT FOUR) THAT GOD WORKS IN “MYSTERIOUS” WAYS 

Isaiah 55… ⁹ “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

(POINT FIVE) THAT GOD LOVES US WHEN WE DO GOOD

Romans 8… ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ³⁶ As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”^{[j] 37} No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, ³⁹ neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
