I didn't have a clue!!! This was my first Bible study ever and I didn't get it. Now it is one of the most reassuring sentences in my world. Jesus is the Word, and He was with God in the beginning. He is God.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

What's your battle? I couldn't fight mine alone, I cried aloud. He saved me.

Psalm 55:16-18
As for me, I will call upon God,
And the Lord shall save me.
Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.

Would you recognize him? The risen Christ walked and talked with Peter but Peter didn't even know it was Jesus until his eyes were opened. Your eyes can be opened too. Expect Him at your table.

Luke 24:30-31
Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.
Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.

This was just a kid in Bethlehem, a shepherd and the baby of the family. But God had plans for David, plans to change the world forever. "this is the one!"

1 Samuel 16:12
So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!”

No fear, no turning aside, no more empty things. Even if you have been wicked, the Lord will not forsake you.

1 Samuel 12:20-22
Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.

And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.
For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people.

Live!

Luke 20:38
For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.”

This beautiful verse stems from Ruth's refusal to leave her mother-in-law. Because of that decision she has the honor of being the great-grandmother of David, and thus part of Christ's genealogy? It's amazing what doing the right thing at the right time can mean to the world.

Ruth 1:16-17
But Ruth said:
“Entreat me not to leave you,
Or to turn back from following after you;
For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”
