2 Timothy 3:16-17 -- 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 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.
The bible is a living, breathing instruction manual for life! It is not just some book written by men, it was written by God Himself, through His supernatural empowering of men! Jesus taught how to pray, saying “give us this day our daily bread”. Jesus also said “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” He was talking about scripture. It is our daily nourishment that God feeds us. The bible is how God speaks to us, and we need to read it daily to receive His direction & guidance, His strength & encouragement and His beautiful promises!
Dear Father in heaven,
Oh that we would be people that hunger for Your word each day! Give us the desire everyday to hear what You have to say to us through Your Word! Feed us with Your messages of truth & wisdom and love & forgiveness! Strengthen & guide us, teach us, and mold & shape us into who You created us to be!
In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
