*What Does The Bible Hold*

Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16 
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" NKJV

Fills my memory - rules my heart - guides my feet.   
Breaths life - classifies judgment - remembered forever.  
Wealth of knowledge - defines glory --- river of adventure.

Keys to heaven -- gates of hell -- righteous path - final battle.
Glorifies the Father - confirms the Son - explains the Holy Spirit.
Holy doctrines - binding precepts - true history - indisputable conclusions.

Highest responsibility - rewards the greatest labor.
Direction from the Light of the World -- food for thought.
Designed for a lifetime -- slowly read -- frequently opened.   

The mind of God - state of man - way of salvation. 
Holy practices --- Believers joy ---  doom for sinners.  
Wisdom for the Ages - expression of belief - foundations of faith.  

Cheerful comfort --- defines the ultimate battle --- prayerfully pursued.
Traveler's map - pilgrim's staff - the pilot's compass.  
She soldier's weapon - Christian's charter.

Presidents of the United States of America who have embraced and not feared speaking about the Bible:

"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible"
George Washington

"I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this Book that you can by reason and the balance by faith, and you will live and die a better man"
Abraham Lincoln

"I have always said that a studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands"
Thomas Jefferson

Prayer: Father thank you for providing a powerful book of love letters to me --- The Bible.

Cristo buscaba a un siervo-líder para que guiara a los creyentes una vez que Él regresara al cielo. El antiguo pescador era un impulsivo sabelotodo, pero el Señor vio su potencial a pesar de su arrogancia. Por eso, el gran Artesano utilizó una filosa herramienta —la humillación— para quebrantarlo. Cuando las palabras del Señor estuvieron en conflicto con la opinión de Pedro, el discípulo reprendió temerariamente a Jesús. El Salvador respondió con una virulenta reprimenda, tanto para silenciar como para enseñar ( Mt 16.21-23 ; Jn 13.5-8 ). Inclusive, Pedro incumplió su promesa de morir por el Señor cuando lo negó tres veces ...

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade.
