2/09            2 PETER 1:20-21

The Holy Spirit guides us into God’s truth.

He will speak to you directly from His Word.

Do what He says.

MIRROR

The Bible mirrors God’s truth to us.

We read what we should be and see what we are. 

Read the Bible.

It will keep you on God’s Road-the straight and narrow.

The curves will be straightened,
    and the rough places made smooth.
6 And then all people will see
    the salvation sent from God.’”[a]

Justice will be done.

Our sorrows are just for a brief time.
