#33 Live by the Counsel of God's Word _____ And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life (Deut. 32:46,47a). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The depressed person often despairs of life. God desires that his Word become our very life. As it does, it can help an indidual to overcome depression. God also desires that we teach His word to our children, so they as well can live the abundant life! Depression must be avoided in children as well as adults, and living by Gods principles is our chief defence.
