2 Timothy Three

"All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
-----2 Timothy 3:16

At the time of writing this letter Paul is attempting to encourage and build Timothy as a leader. It will be much later that this letter is placed in the Holy Bible. In fact, at this time much of the New Testament is in it's infancy or has yet to be written.

Today, Paul reminds me of the importance of the Old Testament . It tells the amazing story of how we begin, how compassionate God is in the promise of the Messiah and how we can use history to navigate the uncertain waters of the future.

"Father, open my eyes to experience Your word."
