SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 9-05-02
My
Worship Time Focus: God’s Word is
profitable
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: 2Timothy 3:16b
Message
of the verse: “16 All Scripture is
inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for
training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped
for every good work.”
The Word
of God is profitable for 1) teaching (NASB) doctrine (NKJV). “The Scripture
provides the comprehensive and complete body of divine truth necessary for life
and godliness.”*
2) For reproof, The Scriptures can expose sin, wrong
behavior or wrong belief. 3) For
correction, this is the only time that this Greek word is used in the NT. “AV-correction 1; 1) Restoration to an upright or right state
2) Correction, improvement of life or character.” This quote is from the Strongs
Concordance. 4) For instruction in
righteousness. The Scripture provides
positive training in godly behavior.
“The
Scriptures are Profitable. (2Tim.3:
16b). They are profitable for doctrine
(what is right), for reproof (what is not right), for correction
(how to get right), and for instruction in righteousness (how to get
right).” From Dr. Wiersbe’s “Be
Faithful”
Meaning
for my life today: As I go through life
each day the Word of God is what I need to know what is right, to know what is
wrong, to correct me when I am wrong, and to teach me how to get right. It is all that I need for living a godly life
before my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The Word of God was profitable to me this day.
My
Steps of Faith Today: To
concur fear by the Word of God so I can live my life in obedience to God and
His Word.
Memory
verses for the week: 2Timothy 3:16,17
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
