Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.
Into the Text
Scripture isn’t just words on a page. It’s God’s voice, powerful and personal, speaking directly into our lives. In 2 Timothy 3:16-17, we’re reminded that every word in the Bible is “inspired by God.” Think about that—each verse, each story, each promise was given to us by a God who loves us and wants to see us grow in our knowledge and love of Him.
God’s Word teaches us who He is and who we are in Him. It corrects us when we’ve sinned, reorients our hearts, and trains us in righteousness. God’s Word doesn’t leave us as we are. It refines and transforms us, helping us become more like Jesus.
We are slow to understand how rich the Word of God truly is. The more we feed on it, are filled with it, retain it in our minds, and obey it, the more we will grow as Christians and experience answers to prayer. That’s because we will increasingly desire God’s will to be done rather than our own. It is to the extent that we abide in God’s Word that we will become more and more “capable and equipped for every good work.”
So, sweet friend, if you’re feeling weary, uncertain, or unprepared, run to His Word. Let the comfort and truth of Scripture breathe life into those places of doubt and fear. In His Word, you’ll find all that you need—strength, guidance, and hope—to live a life that brings honor to Him.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for the gift of your Word. Help me to abide in your truth and let it equip and transform me for your glory. I want to be prepared for every good work you have for me. Amen.
