Daily Walk Through the New Testament

January 24
Read 2 Timothy 3:12-4:22

All of Scripture is inspired by God, alive and powerful, and applicable to all believers today. It teaches us sound doctrine, leads us in righteousness, helps us mature spiritually, and equips us for good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17). God wants us to be intentional about getting to know Him more and becoming more like Him by studying His Word. He wants us to be able to explain its truths to others at any point in time, in any season (4:2; 1 Peter 3:15).
Try using the acrostic EDDY to help you draw closer to God. Come to God EARLY — make it the first thing you do. Read His Word DAILY and DILIGENTLY. As you do, discipline yourself to say YES — to obey His Word instead of your feelings and submit to His will instead of your own.
If you spend the rest of your days drawing close to God and obeying Him, you will be able to say with Paul,”I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (4:7). Your daily choices reveal whether you want to “get your gold” here, or when you stand before God. Indeed, we all will stand before Him, and eternity is too long to be wrong!
