Memory Verse Challenge: Week 34

Happy September to all of you.  School is back in session and even if you don't have kids in school, the vibe at work feels different, doesn't it?  Even though September seems busier - it also brings with it a sense of renewal.  Everybody likes a fresh start.  So - even if you haven't done great on your Memory Verse Challenge, you can start anew.  (Like how I tied that all together???)

This week's verse reminds us that God's word is divine.  The Bible is not just a story book that we read every so often.  It's alive and contains words we need to hear - words that are useful - words that are uplifting, challenging, and affirming.

I would venture to say there isn't a season in our lives where opening the Word of God isn't helpful.  When you or someone you know is down and depressed, it can lift you up.  When you are angry, it can help calm you and put things in perspective.  When you need courage to speak the truth, it will strengthen you.  Those are just of few of the benefits of knowing God's word.  Today's verse says scripture will equip you for every good work.  Don't go through life unprepared when God has given you an excellent training manual.  Use it.
