In this letter from the apostle Paul to his student Timothy, we can see the authority that God’s Word has for everyone’s life. Paul wanted Timothy to know that the Bible is perfect for all situations in life, no matter the circumstances. The Word of the Lord can teach, train, correct, and give a person a good talking to! If we don’t spend time in the Word of God, studying and learning it, we cannot be equipped to do the things we need to do for His glory. When we study the Word of God, we come to find out more and more that what the Bible says is true. It really is God’s Holy Word! God has a purpose for everything in the Bible, although you may not understand it. As we spend time studying God’s Word, we can learn how to better obey His commands, live a fuller life of freedom and be better equipped to serve Him.

• How do you feel after reading God’s Word? Empowered? Or just the opposite?
