Profitable: For Correction
When I think of a blueprint, I think of a detailed guide or plan. And so the Bible is a detailed guide and plan that will give each of us guidance for every day of our lives! What a gift the Lord has given us in His word…the perfect guide for us as we walk with Him each day!
And the Word of God is a guide that also corrects.
Along with other attributes that we have already seen this week in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, the Bible says that it is profitable for correction. The Greek word for correction is a compound of two words that means to restore to an upright or right state, to straighten up again or rectify. So, we see the impact the Word of God can have in our lives!
The Lord has given us His word so that as we read, study, memorize, meditate and put His correction into practice, our life and character can be “made right” into the likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Or, as verse 17 says, “so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Prayer/Challenge
Let’s look forward to being corrected today, to being equipped today, as the Lord anoints us with the Holy Spirit and power, so that we might walk with Him and bless others!
