Saturday Reading: 2 Timothy 2:15
Key Verse: 2 Timothy 2:15
15 Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
Devotion:
The more that I am able to teach others about God the more I want to be able to learn about God. Does that make me a ‘swat’ or a bookworm that I should want to read my bible? Far from it because my reading ability is certainly not what it should be and it takes quite a bit of effort for me to be able to read through my bible each year. The amazing part is that each time I do read it I get a new insight into what God has in store for me and each time I dig a little deeper to find out more about Him. I try my best to present the truth and I certainly am not ashamed at being able to present the truth to anyone.
We (all human beings) do have an amazing ability to learn, some more than others, but we all do learn through what we take in in various forms such as reading. We all have a curiosity that needs to be fed or satisfied by finding more out about things – if we did not have that curiosity then we would never dig deep and find out the actual truth about things. What scares me is that there are many people out there (and I’m sure we have all done this at some stage) who simply repeat what others say without thinking about what they are saying. We take things out of context and blurt out words without thinking of the consequences; what good is that going to do to anyone?
Our goal should be to seek out the truth and when we find it we should tell others about that truth so they too can know it. Finding out the truth in this day and age is something that we find harder and harder because of all the garbage and frivolous things that are tossed in front of us all the time. Many people do not want to know the truth because they would then have to give up on some of those frivolous things because they may actually be bad for you – even though they may seem like fun at the time. Seeking the truth is not a bad thing. Keeping that truth in your heart is not a bad thing. Hiding that truth from others is just plain selfish – share your truth today and make someone else smile!
Points to Ponder:
Are you seeking the truth?
Are you sharing the truth?
