2 Timothy 3:16-17All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.The Bible ( the collection of sacred writings of the Christian religion, comprising theOld and New Testaments) is NOT a clipboard or random hard surface used when jotting something on paper.The Infallible (incapable of making mistakes or being wrong)Word of God is NOT a coaster to prevent a water ring on furniture!
The Inherent (existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute)Scriptures are not intended as a “coffee table book”!God’s Word is Truth!We are so blessed to have access to the Scriptures. Often times I take for granted the many people throughout history who have obediently followed the Lord’s calling, allowing me to have not just one, but several copies of the Bible in my home.As discussed before, with the way the world is declining, we never know how far we are away from having the privileges we enjoy today, taken away at an instant!When you think of freedoms, does owning a copy of God’s Word come to mind as one? Psalm 119:11 says, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.”Our Lord wants His words in our hearts and NOT just brain knowledge of Scripture, but heart understanding! Why does He want it there if we can just pick up a copy and read it whenever we want or go online to look at the Word. Our Father knows what is headed our way and the place best suited for preserving His instructions is in our hearts! Nowhere does He mention going to the Christian bookstore and buying a copy for each room of the house.PRAY, READ & STUDY (REPEAT)PRAYERPrecious Heavenly FatherThank You for the WordPlease increase our capacity to learn and understand whatYou have to teach us through ScriptureToo many times we recall things that are trivialFather, please let us purge from our minds those things that are unnecessaryAnd fill us with the MEAT of Your word!Please let us hunger and thirst for You, Almighty KingIn the Name of JesusThe Word made FleshAmenSongsThy WordWord of God SpeakGlorious Daycredits: Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Scripture Encouraging words from the Lord, family and friends Ability and opportunity to share google, youtube, biblegateway, webstersdictionaryonline
