"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" ~II Tim 3:16-17~

As I read an essay my younger son wrote about my older son, alot went through my mind. He talked about how his brother's life inspired him, and about the quality character traits he sees in him. I thought about my life....what do people see in me? Do I inspire anyone to desire a closer walk with God? Do I let the scriptures inspire me to draw closer to Jesus? Do I listen when God inspires me to do something for Him, like the men that obeyed to write the Bible? Do I lean on the Bible for reproof & instruction? Do I know enough about the Bible to be thoroughly equipped for His good work? Through Him, I can be equipped...for every good work that He calls me to, not limited by man...and I can be equipped for every situation life brings before me.
