Verse of the Day 10/31

2 Timothy 3:14-15 New International Version

14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

Our Men's Tuesday Bible study will be in Hebrews chapter 4 this week where in verse 12 we read that the "word of God is living and active".  It is not something that we take in or even memorize and let it lay dormant until we feel that "we need it".  It is to be at work in our lives, and if it is to be at work we have to be in it, drawing upon it, thinking about it and with the Help of the Holy Spirit, guiding our thoughs and actions,

In today's passage Paul tells us that the word, the scriptures were "God breathed", inspired by God to equip us for every good work.  There are all kinds of things that vie for our attention, calliing out to us to follow, but we must not give in, instead, hold on and continue in the things that we have learned, they will carry us on to the end, which is our salvation inn Jesus Christ.

The Word, the Bible is God's truth spoken to us, we should listen to the voice of truth.  Don't listen to other voices, as for you "choose to listen and believe the voice of Truth."

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a Sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (Calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

Blessings,

Mike

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.  NIV

2 Timothy 3:10-17

New International Version

A Final Charge to Timothy

10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
