16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work.
… God’s word, inspired and authored by God’s Spirit, gives us God’s direction to follow in life.
My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Xochitl Dixon AT THIS LINK … tells of her young son. Xavier, whom she taught from God’s word at a young age, who, one day seeing his mom burst out in anger, called out to the ODB author, … ”Practice what you preach, Mama!”
And for us Christians, that’s the call of God’s word for us all, isn’t it; … to practice what we learn and live from God’s word, … the Holy Scriptures? And if my fellow Christian readers have taken in and meditated on the Scriptures above - ALL TRUE AND ALL FOR US - we know, and are likely convicted, just as I am right now, … knowing that we need to TRUST AND OBEY all we read from God’s truth.
As Don Moen sings it in the linked song, … ”When we walk with the Lord. in the light of His word, what a glory He sheds on our way, … “
Personally, that’s where I want to walk. How about you?

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to follow You, Lord, and Your call … everyday … to follow You thru Your GPS, which is Your word. … Amen
