Week 4 – 2 Timothy 3:17

So that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. – 2 Timothy 3:17 (NIV)

That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. – 2 Timothy 3:17 (KJV)

Theme: God’s Word and Why We Study It

This verse completes the thought from Week 3 (our family memorizes Weeks 3 & 4 together). Last week, 2 Timothy 3:16 reminded us that the Bible we read is inspired by God Himself, and we should use His Scriptures to teach one another, to identify and correct what is wrong (sin), and to train ourselves to do what’s right in God’s eyes. Why should we use God’s Word for these things? This week’s verse, 2 Timothy 3:17, tells us: so that our hearts and minds are “thoroughly equipped” to do good works in the eyes of our LORD. Just like a soldier must be properly trained and equipped before heading into battle, we need to equip ourselves with God’s Word as we head out into the world. Why? So that we’re thoroughly equipped to do good works for God’s glory.

Doogie - Be Thankful – 1 Chronicles 16:34 (Week 47)

(we received this comment via email)… Another excellent post! And just to carry the historical aspect with regard to our nation one step further, the resolution adopted by Congress actually urged President Washington to declare “a national day of thanksgiving and prayer” (emphasis supplied), but in today’s times we seem to forget that second part. In fact, the very first line of President Washington’s proclamation establishing our nation’s first Thanksgiving states “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor...” The full text of the proclamation is available at: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/05-04-02-0091 Our Founding Fathers recognized and gave thanks to God above all first and foremost, and we would be well-served to do the same!
