Memorize and you meditate on this verse.
Work hard so you can present yourself to
God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be
ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. Avoid worthless, foolish
talk that only leads to more godless behavior. This kind of talk spreads like
cancer, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus. They have left the path of
truth, claiming that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; in this
way, they have turned some people away from the faith. But God's truth stands
firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: "The LORD knows those
who are his," and "All who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil."
2 Timothy 2:15-19
 |
| Study God's Word. That is the key. |
Work hard. The King James Versions says…
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But
shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
ungodliness. - 2 Timothy 2:15-16 KJV
Study. That is more than just reading. Get
in there and look at the meaning of the words. Figure out not only what the
verses mean—what God is saying—but how you can apply them to your life. Pray and pay attention. That is the key to understanding.
One way to apply Scripture to your life is
to simply avoid foolish talk and turn away from evil. That may seem easier
said than done, but the choice is yours every moment of every day. Turn your
tongue and heart towards God—and away from evil…or turn towards evil and thus
towards hell. The choice is for each person to decide. Choose today whom you
will serve with your thoughts, words and actions.
Prayer
~ Lord God, I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. Psalm 119:15
Verses
of Salvation ~ For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it
says, 'The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.'
There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by
which we must be saved." Acts 4:11-12
Read that again. It is simple. There is
salvation in no one else—only in Jesus. Are you seeking Jesus with all your
heart, soul, mind and strength?
