Many devotionals use 1-2 verses of Scripture in their quest to fulfill a reader’s desire to study God’s Word.  Try making it a point to read more of the surrounding verses, which will enrich one with greater Biblical understanding and perspective.

Charles Stanley Quote

We aren’t free to interpret the Bible any way we want.  The goal is to discover what God meant rather than to find a meaning we like.

From 2 Timothy 2:14-15:  “Remind them of this, and warn them before the Lord that they are to avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those who are listening.  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by Him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth.”
