Today’s Bible Verse: 2 Timothy 3:16
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.
Words of Devotion
Have you ever felt like God has quit speaking? Maybe sermons are losing their impact, times of genuine worship in life are growing more scarce, and overall, you’re coasting on spiritual memories and past times? Whatever the reason, there are times in life in which we feel disconnected from God and alone.
But have you considered that Book you’ve been neglecting? The Bible is called God’s Word because that’s exactly what it is! It was faithfully recorded by inspired men from all walks of life, who lived across three continents, and compiled the texts over a period of fifteen hundred years without ever contradicting one another. God spoke then through Scripture and is still speaking through it now.
When we neglect to meet Him in the words He preserved for us we lose our bearing in life, and He seems distant. But the wonderful truth is that God hasn’t moved and He is still speaking through the Bible. Remember, it’s not just a book with worn-out phrases. Rather, it’s a treasure house of truth that’s living and active, it’s a fountain of living water and our source of strength. Pick it up, dust it off, and draw near to the God who speaks still.
One should approach Scripture with the understanding that God speaks every time we read His Words. We just need to listen and seek after Him.
