STUDY STUDY STUDY

 
2 Timothy 2:15


"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." NIV


"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." KJV


Being a Christian is not for the weak hearted or those who are lazy. The Lord Jesus Christ through the Father gave everything and had nothing in this world so that we who had nothing of real worth could have everything of God's. However, God does not force us to become new creatures. He commands us to choose who will be our master. When we choose Christ, we are told to study, prepare, and fill our hearts and minds with the Word of God so that we will be able to know the truth. Also, we will be able to share the truth and we will be able to discern the truth. If we obey this command to study and be approved workers of God, we will never be ashamed.


Heavenly Father, give us a deeper hunger for the Word of God. Help us to make a conscious effort to make time to be in the Word and in prayer. Show us ways to keep the Word in our hearts and minds, we ask in the name of Jesus, Amen.
