God's Word is where we look for reassurance, hope and peace
Where else can we find our rest in this increasingly uncertain time, than from the God who sustains? In many ways, the fear that is exponentially growing both here in Australia and overseas, reinforces the importance of Bible Society’s work: making God’s word available to as many people as possible across the world. What do we as Christians do each day as we are bombarded by the heartbreaking news of the ongoing spread of the coronavirus?
We Open The Bible. Over the next little while, we will be sharing verses of reassurance, love and comfort to feed your soul and still your heart. #OpenTheBible
