[Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: Take heed to Scriptures

Read: 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Meditation verse:

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for  reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).

The word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged  sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes  our innermost thoughts and desires (Hebrews 4:12). And Psalm 138:2 states that  God has exalted His word above all His name. What this implies is that God  honours His word. His word is His bond. If He has said it, He will do it. If He has  promised, then it is as good as done. Another implication of this is that every  promise in the scripture can be fulfilled in your life. 2 Peter 1:20 says that  “knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation,  for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they  were moved by the Holy Spirit.  

What value do you place on the word of God? Where is the place of scripture in  your life? “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 complete thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2  Timothy 3:16-17). Every answer you are looking for and every solution to the  issues of life can be found in the scriptures. God’s word is a lamp unto your feet  and a light unto your path (Psalm 119:105) A single revelation from scripture can  alter the trajectory of your life. Psalm 119:11 says, “Your word have I hidden in  my heart that I might not sin against You”. Psalm 119:9 says’ “how shall a young  man cleanse his ways? By taking heed thereto according to the word of God”.  

Take heed to scriptures. Let the word of God become your doctrine and way of  life. Let it shape your values. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every  word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Mathew 4:4). “Faith comes by  hearing and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). So, search the  scriptures daily and meditate on it. Speak it over your situations and watch your  life transform. Jeremiah 15:16 says “when I discovered your words, I devoured  them. They are my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name”.
