A Prayer Request

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

“Approved” is also used to describe a coin of full weight and value.

This is an important scripture, because by study we gain God’s approval. But study does not have to be some long arduous task. It does not need to consume endless hours. The study of scripture should be a joy that brings us closer to God. It should help us to understand His plans and desires for us. Scripture should excite, encourage, comfort.

Study seems difficult because we make it so. God can bring understanding, if only we ask. Make part of your prayer this request:

Lord, show me one new thing each day.
