All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
2 Timothy 3:16
The longer one is a Christian, the easier it becomes to forget what it felt like to be without God. But many are without the blessings and benefits of His presence in their life. When they need knowledge, guidance, counsel, or hope, they often have nowhere to turn to except the world. And while there is helpful information available, none of it bears the trustworthiness of the words of God Himself.
Such is the Christian’s blessing—to be the recipient of the Scriptures. This Book contains the inspired record of God’s revelation of Himself to man. It gives answers to the questions that mankind has asked over the ages, a timeless source of wisdom and guidance. As Paul wrote to his protégé Timothy, Scripture is useful for teaching, separating us from sin, correcting our path, and training us in godliness and righteousness. Where except the Bible is such wisdom to be found in the world?
Thank God today for the blessing of His Word in your life. And renew your commitment to meditating on it day and night.
The truly wise man is he who always believes the Bible against the opinion of any man.
R. A. Torrey
