GOD'S DIRECTION

PSALM 19:7 (ABP)
God's edicts are so on target that they transform the clueless into pillars of wisdom.

2 TIMOTHY 3:16 (MSG)
Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God has given us the direction we need to live his way.

PRAYER
Lord who speaks, I am thankful that your word through the scripture is as reliable and constant as you. Many times, I stray and rely on my own understanding of a situation, which ultimately fails. Help me give myself to reading, studying, and applying your words in my life so I may truly know you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
