Christian Equipment

All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.  2 Timothy 3:16 & 17


The children and I were discussing our new verse at lunch today.  I try not to take for granted that the younger children in our family understand all the words in our verses so we talk about each one and their meaning.  When we got to the word "equipped," we started talking about equipment and used the analogy of a farmer and his farming equipment.  When he has his "equipment" (among other things) he is "equipped" for his farming job.  Of course, that lead to many other things that we need equipment for, i.e., camping equipment for camping; sports equipment to play sports, etc.

So, we determined that scripture, which is God-breathed, is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness AND our necessary "equipment" for Christian living because it equips us for every good work!

Don't forget to use your Christian equipment and use it regularly!

Do you have any stories to share?  Has God used any of the memory verses in a unique or powerful way yet?  Let us encourage each other with our testimonies and praises!
