II Timothy 3- Profit of Scripture

 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
 17so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

I was encouraged this morning by this second verse (v17).  Many times I have heard messages or exhortation on verse 16, but I was reminded that the second verse holds the action.  It is our calling, what we need to do with the Knowledge and Change God has performed in us, through Scripture.

"So that the man of God may be adequate" [...complete... competent... thoroughly] "equipped for every good work."

What a reminder of how important the Word of God is.  This is our training.  This is how we are disciplined in living.  I pray that God would soften my heart to hear what He is teaching me each day, so that I can competently, thoroughly, completely and adequately do His will.
