2 Timothy 2:15
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."
Time for my second memory verse! Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking about God's word. Some recent events have troubled me greatly. There are many Christians out there who don't believe the Bible! At least not parts of it they say. I don't really need to turn this post into something negative, I just am most concernced about the generations to come, including my own children having a FIRM understanding of what they believe and why. If all of the Bible is not true who are we to decide which parts we think are? I used to think the Bible contradicted itself but that is only because I never read it or studied it. That is a brilliant thing to make an authoritative statement about something of which one has no knowledge!Learned that lesson.
It is my prayer that God sees me as handling the Truth in His word correctly. I have to study and know what it says! I have to ask Him to help me discern and give me wisdom. I have to look for His truth, not the world's truth. His truth is bread and life to us.
Have a blessed weekend!

Amen! It's all true...every last word of God's word...even when our hearts are squeezed with such conviction and we are forced to see our ugly. Reading God's word gives us first - our salvation and the second most important is studying it so much that we can decipher conviction from accusation by Satan! :-)
