I have only missed my morning watch once or twice this yearโ€ฆ I can easily believe that it is next in importance to accepting Christ. For I know that when I don't wait upon God in prayer and Bible study, things go wrong.

What is says of Scripture is, not that it is โ€œbreathed into by Godโ€ or is the product of the Divine โ€œinbreathingโ€ into its human authors, but that it is breathed out by God, โ€œGod-breathedโ€, the product of the creative breath of Godโ€ฆ When Paul declares, then, that โ€œevery Scriptureโ€, or โ€œall Scriptureโ€ is the product of the Divine breath, โ€œis God-breathedโ€, he asserts with as much energy as he could employ that Scripture is the product of a specifically Divine operation. This truth is followed by another important fact. That the God-breathed words of God is useful for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.  This episode encourages us all to treat the Bible as our authoritative guide and to rely on it in times of doubt and temptation.  Return tomorrow for continued encouragement from the Word.  Bible in a Year: Jeremiah 18-19 & 2 Timothy 3 https://www.bereanmissionarychurch.com/ Doris and I have been at this for more than five years now, and we often wonder how much longer God will use us, especially when I oversleep or miss a deadline.
