The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 12:15 (HCSB)
A fool's way is right in his own eyes, but whoever listens to counsel is wise.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 119:22-24 (HCSB)
22 Take insult and contempt away from me, for I have kept Your decrees. 23 Though princes sit together speaking against me, Your servant will think about Your statutes; 24 Your decrees are my delight and my counselors.
The Word for encouragement:
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (HCSB)
15 and you know that from childhood you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
My observation:
Today's focal passage is a wonderful testimony of the value of the Holy Scriptures. The bible is unlike any other book. It is a book that is from the heart of God, and the words are from the mouth of God. The bible is God breathed.
2 Peter 1:20-21 (HCSB)
20 First of all, you should know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from one's own interpretation, 21 because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
When you follow the advice that Paul gave to Timothy about the word of God, you will have all that you need to become all that God purposed you to be. Only in the bible can you find the way and the wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
My prayer:
Father God, I am so grateful for the role that the bible has played in my life. Father, the bible is so precious to me. Father, I agree with what the Psalmist said about your Word.
Psalm 119:16 (HCSB)
I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
