2Tim 3:16-17 Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another – showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.

The Word of God challenges us to be all that God has made us to be. It is the standard…and when we look into it, we measure ourselves. (we should)

The Word of God challenges us to stretch and grow. If you are not stretching and growing then chances are you are not putting yourself before the Word of God.

It is good to be challenged. and even necessary.

We have to take the word and apply it to our lives in order to get shaped up for the tasks that God has for us…each day.

Let’s take the challenge, get in spiritual shape and do more this year than we have ever done in our lives. How about it?
