2 Timothy 3:14-17
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
New International Version (NIV)
"Do you care what I think?"  I heard a preacher ask a group of college students this question.  They cheered their response:  "Yes!"
"Don't," he said surprising us.  "God's thoughts are higher than mine. Care what God thinks!"
By contrast with the fallen world which ran into trouble through it's "best thinking," Paul points Timothy and us to God's thoughts revealed in his word.  Continue in what you have learned in the holy scriptures.
When you sit alone today, rest your eyes on God's word.  It is profitable!  Alone with our thoughts we may get in trouble.  Focusing on God's word equips us to do the good works for which we were created.
Pray with me:
Father, focus our minds on your word today.  Help us to continue in what we have learned.  Thank you for those who have taught us the truth.Help us to pass it on.  In Jesus' name.  Amen. 
Our 2023 Every Day with Jesus readings are taken from Robert Murray M'Cheyne's Bible Reading Calendar. Copies of the reading plan are available at Tallowood Baptist Church, or download your copy here:
Please join us in reading through the scriptures again this year.  We will read the New Testament twice and the Old Testament once this year. M'Cheyne once said, “A man is who he is on his knees, and nothing more.”  Would you pray with me that God will make his word live to us this year?  Let’s not just get through the Bible.  Let it get through to us!

Joyfully, 
Duane
