When you feel confused

Test All Things According To God's word
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.
Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Acts 17:10-11 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

Let God's Word be your guide
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
