All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Think about the awesomeness of this statement “All Scripture is God-breathed”!
There is purpose behind everything God says and the Bible records what He wanted to reveal to us.
Now we all experience parts in the Bible that are not easy to understand, but I think God did this on purpose. In Proverbs chapter 2 it says, “search for wisdom and understanding like you would for a hidden treasure then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.” Digging deeper into the Word gets us to know Him better and equips us for every good work.
If I had to condense this scripture in a sentence it would be “God’s Word is useful in equipping us”
When tackling any task in life, it is so much easier when one has the right equipment and the skills to do it. I am sure you have tackled a task and because you did not have the correct equipment made the job frustrating and difficult to do.
As we come under the authority of the Word of God and allow it to shape us, it will equip us in every area of our life. In our relationships, our finances, our ministry, our family and every good work God has called us to do.
