Student Of The Scriptures

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 NIV

When their son left for his freshman year at Duke University, his parents gave him a Bible, assuring him it would be a great help. Later, as he began sending them letters asking for money, they would write back telling him to read his Bible, citing chapter and verse. He would reply that he was reading the Bible, but he still needed money. When he came home for a semester break, his parents told him they knew he had not been reading his Bible. How? They had tucked ten and twenty dollar bills by the verses they had cited in their letters.

The rewards of Bible study are life-changing—even if there is no money between the pages. It is vital to spend time in God’s Word because it is the guide to help you prosper in everything you do. Create new ways to revitalize your walk with the Lord—invest in new study materials, find an accountability partner, or rearrange your schedule to include a different environment in which to meet with God.

When you commit to reaching out to God, He has already committed to meeting you where you are.
