DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 10-11; Habakkuk 2; Romans 15:14-33
All scripture is inspired by God…that the man of God may be… equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16 (NASB)
The ancient Greeks understood the meaning of “equip” in several ways. In surgery it described the setting of a broken limb. In the fishing industry it referred to the mending of nets. In politics it meant bringing together opposing groups. God longs to equip us so that there is no brokenness in our personality, no holes in our nets, and no opposing factions in our relationships. Are we receptive to God’s equipping ministry through His Spirit, His Word, and His people? —W. Ross Rainey
Oh, fill me with Thy fullness,
Lord, until my very heart o’erflow,
In kindling tho’t and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show. —F. R. Havergal
