Scripture to Equip Myself

[S] 2 Timothy 3:16-17 --
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

[O] Our company is having a bake-off contest for employees to show off their baking skills.  As each of the contestants explain the process of preparing and making the desserts it is quite amazing at how much effort they put in to present (and to win) the goodies.  God's Scripture to us is like that where God put together an amazing package of principles and wisdom for us to follow in order to face all aspects of life and to produce good works in the midst of them all.

[A] The ultimate purpose of the Scripture is to equip me for every good work.  So as I read more of His Scripture, my life should produce more good works. If not, then I'm not soaking up His word correctly.

[P] Dear Father, thank You for the wonderful Scripture for me to be equipped to serve others and You to produce many good works.  May I have to right perspectives at all times to equip myself in doing just this on daily basis. In Jesus' name.  Amen.
