Today's passage: 2 Timothy 3:10-17
“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 3:16-17
Reflect
In my heart of hearts, do I trust God's Word? Why, if I know that reading the Bible can make a concrete difference in my life, do I often relegate it to the last priority in my day? What can I do to make Scripture-reading the first priority in my life? So often we fail to make Scripture a priority. We succumb to our hectic schedules and busy lives while the Bible sits unopened on our nightstands and book shelves. We tell ourselves that we'll get to it later, when we have more time, when life slows down. Yet a close look at these verses clearly details the necessity of Scripture-reading in our daily lives. Delving into God's Word on a regular basis teaches us, guides us, corrects us, inspires us, and speaks to the exact place and circumstances of our personal lives. Without the guidance of God's Word, we are ill-equipped to overcome life's hurdles and unable to discern God's will for our unique purpose on Earth.
Respond
Ask for change: Lord, help me make Your Word the first priority in my day, rather than the last. Consider what's real: At the start of this week, make a commitment to read the Bible at least four times, and pay close attention to what guidance He may be offering that is specifically relevant to you and your personal circumstances. Try to read just a few verses at a time, slowly and thoughtfully, rather than hurriedly trying to get through it and onto something else. Perhaps keep a notebook and a pen by your side, and jot your thoughts and reactions as you mull over God's Word.

“Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told."

Bible Verses on Money 10bibleverses.com/scripture-quotes/bible-verses-about-money/
The Bible has a lot to say about money and how we should handle it. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus tells us that we cannot serve both God and money. This means that our focus should be on God, and not on earthly things like money. Money is an important part of life, but it should not be our main focus. In 1 Timothy 6:10, Paul tells us that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. This means that when we put our love for money above everything else, it can lead us down a bad path. We see this happen all the time in the world today. People will do anything for money, even if it means harming others. But when we keep our focus on God, He will guide us and help us use our money in ways that are good and helpful to others.
Luke 14:28
(ESV) For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
The Bible has a lot to say about money. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus tells us that we cannot serve both God and money. In other words, our loyalty should be to God, not to money. This is because money is only temporary, but our relationship with God is eternal. Philippians 4:19 says that God will meet all our needs according to His riches in glory. This verse reminds us that we can trust God to provide for us, even when times are tough. And in 1 Timothy 6:10, we are told that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. This means that when we focus onmoney too much, it can lead us astray from what is really important in life. The Bible has a lot to say about money because it is an important part of our lives. But we should always keep in mind that our ultimate loyalty should be to God, not to money.
