Survival Skill 3: Learning from the Bible 

What do you think is good about reading the Bible? I mean, you’re here, reading a Bible Plan right now! Why? 

It’s more than just a book. It’s life! 

The Bible covers every topic you can think of that affects humans: fear, hurt, death, injustice—you name it, it’s in there. If there’s something going on in your life and you want to know what God says about it, you can bet there’s a Bible story or passage that can give you the solid foundation you need to build your life on.

See? Building your life on lies like, “I’m no good,” or, “Nobody cares about me,” will be disastrous. When bad things happen, you’ll crumble. But building your life on God’s truth from the Bible, “You are wonderfully made,” and knowing your mission is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself—that’s building your life on a solid foundation. Problems will blow through your life, but you’ll remain strong in God’s love for you. 

Ask yourself: Who can you go to when you want to know what the Bible says about a topic?  

Challenge yourself: Write down your favorite Bible verse, and see if you can have it memorized within one week. Not sure what Bible verse to choose? Try a quick Google search like “great Bible verses to memorize” for ideas!  

Pray: God, thank You for giving us Your Word to read. The Bible contains more truth than any other book because it’s alive with Your truth! Help me to remember to learn from it and read some of it every day. Help me to ask people I trust for wisdom when I have questions about what the Bible teaches us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
