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."

"So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today." Matthew 6:34 (NRSV)

Having the Right “Root System”.
Having the right root system is essential for ANY living being, and as great as we are together, we’re not exclusive from that. Our root system is where it’s determined how we grow individually, as husband and wife and as a family. Being equally yoked and having a solid faith is the right roots for us to have as we begin our lives together…anew, having a new respect for love deeper than we have ever known.
Philippians 2
Be Like Christ
1Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,
2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
3Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
4do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
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.
