The Inspired Word of God

Reading: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21

Devotional: The Bible is not merely a collection of human writings, but the inspired Word of God. As we read in 2 Peter, "men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." This divine inspiration sets Scripture apart from all other literature.

Consider the wonder of holding in your hands a book authored by the Creator of the universe. How does this realization change your approach to reading and studying the Bible? Reflect on times when a passage of Scripture has spoken directly to your situation, offering guidance, comfort, or conviction. This is the living, active nature of God's Word at work in your life.

Today, approach your Bible reading with a sense of awe and expectancy. Ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the text and speak to you through it. Remember, the same God who inspired these words desires to use them to transform your life.
