David Jeremiah (December-29-2023) Daily Devotional: Feed on God's Word.
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
Recommended Reading: 2 Timothy 3:10-17 - THE MAN OF GOD AND THE WORD OF GOD
10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,
11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Six hundred pounds of butter per day; 1,500 pounds of flour per day; 250,000 eggs per week; and 170,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables—all this food is needed for one cruise ship carrying 3,500 passengers! Before each cruise begins, the ship is loaded with all the provisions the kitchen staff needs to keep everyone on board happy and well-fed![1]
In 2 Timothy 3:17 Paul tells us that God’s Word is given to us so that we will be
“thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
As we study Scripture, we are equipped for whatever comes our way. The truths and promises found in God’s Word make their way into our heart and life, giving us strength to persevere in trials and courage to stand for Christ.
Just as cruise ships load tons of food before each departure, so we must continually fill our mind with God’s Word.
And as we do, we will be equipped to serve God each moment of the day. Begin the new year by feeding your mind with God’s Word.
It is impossible to practice godliness without a constant, consistent, and balanced intake of the Word of God in our lives. - Jerry Bridges
