Living Life Directed By God - 2 Timothy 3

S - 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
O - Paul is telling Timothy about the dangers that will come with the end of the world and the godlessness that will be endured. However, the Word of God will stand for the truth and correct when we are wrong and teach us to do what is right.
A - I have a spirit of pride right now and I have difficulty letting God's word or anyone, especially, Christa, speak into my life and tell me what is right. I need to lay this down and realize that God's word is insired by God and that can speak into my life and direct me along with the direct voice of God and also other believers. Without these three sources of counsel in my life I am just a man aimlessly and/or directionless man trying to live a life that pleases God and shows others what a true follower of Christ is really like.
P - God, I confess that I have been living a life without guidence and mentorship for awhile and I have been trying to live life the way that I think is right without really searching for your approval of guidence. Forgive me for this and help me to really search out your will and your desires. Speak ever so clearly to me and help me through every day. Also, I lay down my pride and will listen to those that are in my life and that are following you to hear your wisdom for my life. I'm sorry Lord. I pray this in Jesus' name.
