2 Timothy 3:10-17
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

0:00Tuesday, March 3, 2026. Scanning my life by Diane Bowlin, Iowa USA. Read 2nd Timothy 3, 10th through 17. Every scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing mistakes, for correcting, and for training character, so that the person who belongs to God can be equipped to do everything that is good. A few years ago, a technician instructed me to lie in my back for a scan to evaluate my bone density. When I did, I felt as if my back were crooked. I adjusted my position until I felt comfortable and like when a back was straight. Following the test, the technician showed me the scan. I was surprised to see that my upper back was leaning to the right.
1:00My straight back was not straight at all. My perception of comfort and alignment was out of sync with the reality revealed by the scan. This is also an easy mistake for me to make in my spiritual life. What I think is comfortable and right with respect to God's plan and purpose may actually be misaligned. I have realized that it is important to check my thoughts and actions against the truth of God's word regularly. Paul's words in 2nd Timothy 3, 14, and 15 describe practical tools for examining and correcting our ways by studying the Godly example of others and the words of Scripture. Please help me scan my life so I can stay correctly aligned in my faith. Dear God, as we seek your plan and purpose for our lives, keep us from leaning on our own counsel. May we stay on the straight path of your ways. Amen.
