A buddy of mine handed me a slip of paper after our worship service and on it was written the world BIBLE. But it was written down the paper rather than across it and it said this...

I had heard this before but no one had ever printed it out on paper for me. I liked it! We both smiled as I read it out loud and we agreed that that wasn’t a bad description of what the Bible does. I had been speaking on the fact that Jesus promised that he would return and that all of us are going to leave this earth one way or another. And that we needed to know what to be careful of and what to do in these last days. Paul wrote to his young partner in ministry that all of Scripture is inspired by God and if we read it, we will find out want is true and it will help us to see where we are off the mark in our lives. It helps us to make corrections when we find ourselves headed in the wrong direction and then tells us what that right direction is. And beyond that, it will prepare us to do the good works that God wants us to do. So remember that before you leave this earth, make sure you take time to check out what God has said about salvation, heaven, life, death, love, eternity, hope...and a myriad of other things. Read a bit of that Bible each day...and don’t leave earth without it...teaching you about what God wants you to know.
Here’s our Bible verse for today...
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NLT All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. (17) God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
Remember I’m praying for you!
