Devotional: The Things that Matter

 Day 2 – The Power and Purpose of Scripture

Scripture:

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” — 2 Timothy 3:16

Reflection:

Scripture is not just ancient text—it is living truth. God breathed His Word so that we might know His will and be transformed into His likeness. It teaches, challenges, and corrects us so that we may be “equipped for every good work.”

Paul reminded Timothy that the Word of God was the source of his strength and guidance. Likewise, when we anchor our lives in Scripture, we find stability amid chaos. God’s Word equips us for every season of ministry, from the pulpit to the workplace, from our homes to our communities.

Application:

• Spend 10 minutes today meditating on Psalm 121 or 2 Timothy 3:16–17.

• Ask God to use His Word to correct or encourage you where needed.

• Commit to sharing one truth from Scripture with someone this week.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for Your inspired Word. Let it teach and shape me into who You’ve called me to be. Make me a doer of the Word and not just a hearer. Amen.
