Prepped and Ready! -- 2 Tim. 3:16-17

"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do."
2 Tim. 3:16-17

If a Christian has EVER wondered about the value of daily Scripture reading, these verses should put any question to rest. ALL of it is inspired by God, to teach us and prepare us to do EVERY thing He wants is to do -- how can we not want to consume this gift every day!! If we are not, we cannot be frustrated at the seeming lack of input that God has in our lives. He has provided an extraordinarily simple way for us to have a DIRECT connection to Him, His teaching and His power. What more could we be asking for? Once we begin to take advantage this gift, we open the door to further understanding of His involvement in, and desire for, our lives. It is the simplest of doorways that so many neglect to pass through.

Lord, thank you for your Word, and your promise that it will prepare me in EVERY way, and FULLY equip me to do your work. Those words, I am confident, were intended to be as absolute as they read, and I thank you for that. I am a simple guy looking for simple answers. I give you praise for your care over your creation.
