God’s Word

15 You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

2 Timothy 3:15-17

From a young age, I was taught the scriptures. But as I grew into a teenager and adulthood I was not in the word, studying the word, meditating on God’s word. 

As an adult in my 40’s, I learned to read God’s word again.  I found an entirely new love for God’s word and how it has the ability to mold me and shape me.  It teaches me new things and opens my eyes.  God’s word reminds me of how to correct my behavior and provides enlightenment in an area that I need. 

Paul, in his letter to Timothy, reminds Timothy to use the scriptures to guide and teach.  God’s word is meant for preparation and equipment to not only live a godly life but also to be in service to God.

As we move into the holidays, we begin advent and really dig into God’s word.  Let us continue to relish these times in the scriptures long after the holidays end.

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

Psalm 119:105
