Profitable
The Holy Scriptures of the Bible are very important because they perfect God’s people and lead them into good works. Today’s verses justify themselves in this, showing us their divinity. We are being trained to be good servants in our desires to give, serve, and help others, encouraging them too also want to be good servants of the Lord.
We should not choose which verses we like and ignore those that convict us. We must let the scripture verses speak to us and teach us in their fullness. Scripture verses help us to know if what we hear is actually in the Word. We have the Word to keep us on the right road. By reading, studying and living the Word, we stay holy and righteous before our Lord. As you go along His road you will grow and develop into a Godly Christian. Stay before Him in a humble spirit, and you will grow continually.
For myself, I know as I continually walked in Him, I noticed I was changing into being more like Him. I did not desire my old paths in life. I chose not to be with old friends because we did not have the same outlook in life anymore. They were still interested in the music, tv, books, and places to go that the world offered, and I had my eyes set on Godly things and wanting to go to church, so we went our separate ways. I did not feel lonely because I became close to my church family; they were my new friends. It has been 54 years, and I have never regretted my decision to live for Him. I would never trade in the peace and joy that I have. Many times as I read the Bible, scripture verses jump out of the Word and I know they are for me as I continue to grow and learn. I am not perfect, just forgiven. I still make mistakes and Jesus corrects me. He knows my heart and I am eager to learn, like a child sitting at the feet of my Lord. He is so wonderful and patient with us all. If it was not so I would have not been here to write this. Where I am weak, He is strong; just call on Him.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
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.
Isaiah 48:17
“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to do what is good, who leads you in the way you should go.”
Isaiah 58:11
And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy the soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
