Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:8-18
“For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:21 (NIV) \
The Bible is the word of God. It is his voice to help and direct us daily. The Bible is an absolute necessity for every believer because it contains everything he needs to be successful in every area of life. This book of wisdom is a detailed manual that contains lessons and instructions for living.
Do not be deceived by the argument that the bible was written by men and therefore, subject to debate. Paul reminds us that all scripture is written by the inspiration of God. The Bible is a very reliable book and needs to be studied and burned into our hearts so that we can reap the full benefits of the knowledge therein.
The bible is not an ordinary textbook. It requires a deep understanding that can only come when we depend on God. Therefore, it is important that we always read it prayerfully, trusting the Holy Spirit for understanding. He will teach us gradually, line upon line and precept upon precept. We must also go beyond simply reading to meditating so we can deduce the message God intends to pass to us concerning any matter. The word of God has been given to us to teach, rebuke, correct and train with the ultimate purpose of keeping us in line with God. When we rely on and open our minds to the life-transforming word of God, it becomes a constant source of strength and encouragement. It also enables us to live a victorious and fulfilling life on earth even as we become a source of blessing to others
PRAYER: Lord, teach me your ways through your word in Jesus name.
FAITH BYTE: I trust and believe in the word of God always
