The Bible is Helpful!

Verse: 2 Timothy 3:16-17

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Devotion
It seems too easy honestly. "How can I be prepared to live a life of meaning?" You will find it in the Scriptures. "How can I know God more?" You will find it in the Scriptures. "How can I understand God's call on my life?" You will....ok you get it.

I'm not saying you can find every answer to every question in the Bible. And I'm also not saying it's always easy to understand. But let's take this verse at its word: The Bible is helpful because it's from God. 

The more we read the Word, the better. The more we understand the Word the better. 

His Word brings us direction, it brings us healing, it brings us help, it brings us wisdom, it brings us joy, and on and on. This is why David says that the person who meditates on the word day and night will be happy (Psalm 1)! 

And we all know this: even with all that being true, it is still hard to regularly read the Bible, isn't it? Why??? We all have reasons: it's hard to understand, I don't have time, it's boring, etc, etc. So let me encourage you. Maybe it's time to give it another try. Maybe God has something for you. And maybe you need to try it a little differently! If you haven't read my two articles under "New to the Bible" go read them today, and make the choice to start small. He has something good in his Word to help you!
