The Word is able
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)
Introduction
Scripture does not only inform you. It equips you. God breathed it, and it has work to do in your life.
Teaching
Paul lists what scripture does. It teaches us what is true. It shows us where we have gone wrong. It sets us right again, and it trains us to live righteously.
Notice the aim: that the man of God may be throughly furnished. A furnished house has what it needs. In the same way, the Word gives you what you need for the work God has for you.
So come to your Bible expecting God to do something in you. Let it correct you as well as comfort you. The verse that makes you uncomfortable may be the one that builds you most.
Reflection
Has a scripture corrected you recently? What is one thing God has been saying to you through His Word that you need to act on?
Prayer
Lord, I receive Your Word as Your voice to me. Correct me where I am wrong, teach me what is true, and equip me for every good work. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Confession
God's Word is at work in me. I am being taught, corrected and furnished for every good work.
