Why is it important to remember Scripture during difficult times?

In times of distress, it is crucial to recall the truths found in Scripture because it offers us encouragement and perspective in our trials. The preacher references how the recipients of Hebrews had forgotten essential truths about suffering and chastening from God's Word. This forgetfulness can lead to spiritual despair. As reminded in 2 Timothy 3:16, all Scripture is beneficial for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. When we embed God’s Word in our hearts, it helps us navigate through life's challenges with assurance that He is in control and working for our ultimate good. This knowledge strengthens our faith and reminds us of our identity as His beloved children, promoting spiritual growth even amidst tribulation.
