Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth." II Timothy 2:15

This has truly been on my heart lately, and it seems that lately I have heard of more and more people choosing and picking and dissecting the Bible to suit their needs and their lifestyle. Which we all need to be careful, I am even speaking to myself. We are so quick to take God's promises, verses on faith, love, and even sin that we know that we are not committing, but when it comes to something that is convicting to us, we are so quick to put it aside, and say that the Scripture does not apply to us.

Let us be reminded of II Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" and verse 17, "That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."

All Scripture is given to us for our correction and instruction. Daddy and Mama have always taught us girls that if its Scripture, its Scripture. The Lord gives us His Word to guide us, to help us learn about Him, and what pleases Him.

Putting aside all this rambling, let's get back to obeying God's Word! Let's ask Him to help us to follow Him as we seek to please Him. Let us..."rightly" divide the Word of God!
