Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy 3:10-17, 2 Timothy 4:1-8, Deuteronomy 8:1-11, Joshua 1:7-9, Proverbs 3:1-6, Romans 15:4-6
This Is the New Testament is part of a twelve-week thematic overview of the entire Bible. As we read, we’ll gain a broader understanding of the redemptive story of Scripture. Each day we’ll read a thematic selection from a different book of the Bible, along with supplemental passages that show how the theme of that day’s main reading is found throughout Scripture. We’ll also read a brief summary of each book and a reflection on how the book fits into the larger story of Scripture. This week, we’ll finish our look at the Pauline Epistles and begin the General Epistles.
The Book of 2 Timothy: Second Timothy, also written to Paul’s son in the faith Timothy, is the last letter Paul wrote before he was martyred in Rome. It encourages endurance for believers and stresses the importance of teaching God’s Word to fellow believers.
How 2 Timothy Fits into the Story: As Paul built up church leaders, he expressed concern for spreading the truth of the gospel. His faithfulness in refuting false gospels laid a significant foundation for the early Church, as well as for believers today. Second Timothy gives insight into Paul’s perspective of hope in suffering through extremely difficult circumstances.
Reflection Questions:
1. How does God’s Word equip you for “every good work” (2Tm 3:17)?
2. How does today’s reading shape your understanding of the story of redemption?

Oh Ladies, don’t we love the Holy Word of God – able to make us wise for salvation (redemption)!! It is breathed out by our very Father God, by which He teaches us, reproves us, corrects us and trains us in righteousness. By its preaching, others hear and are saved, by it we learn of the faith of those who went before us and the might acts of God in the past. By obeying its commands, statutes and instruction we make our way prosperous and have good success wherever we go. We learn to trust the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding, so that He may make straight our paths. And by it we also see we must endure hardship and have hope.
Thank You Father for Your living, active Word, given for Your glory and our good!
