<\/a><\/div>\nSo instead of \u201cThy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path,\u201d<\/i> I\u2019m supposed to say, \u201cYour word is like a lamp that shows me the way. It is like a light that guides me.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The one verse that I really like in the New International Readers Version is 2 Timothy 3:16-17. It says, \u201cGod has breathed life into all of Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right. By using Scripture, a man of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
So, \u201cGod\u2019s Word is useful for teaching us what is true.\u201d<\/i> Knowing God\u2019s truth helps us to determine how to distinguish between truth and falsehood in our world. Satan tries so hard to keep us from knowing right from wrong. Learning God\u2019s truth will always lead us in the right direction.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cGod\u2019s Word is useful for correcting our mistakes.\u201d<\/span><\/i> Knowing what God\u2019s Word says about His commands helps us to stick to doing things correctly. Mistakes happen. God\u2019s Word shows us how to make things right and how to continue to work at following His commands.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cGod\u2019s Word is useful for making our lives whole again.\u201d<\/span><\/i> Oh how God wants this in our lives. He created us to desire Him and Him alone. Without God, we are empty. With God, we are complete. Filled. Whole.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cGod\u2019s Word is useful for training us to do what is right.\u201d<\/span><\/i>Again, when we know God\u2019s commands and do our best to follow them, we can live our lives doing what is right.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The last section of this passage says, \u201cBy using Scripture, a man of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing.\u201d<\/i> Yes! Just by learning, memorizing, and implementing God\u2019s Word into my life, I am prepared to do good things for God\u2019s Kingdom.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Memorizing Scripture has never been easy for me and maybe the verses I quote this week will be a little of each version, plus some paraphrasing on my part. I pray that God\u2019s message will be clear through each skit and that He receives all the glory for the week.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
