Unashamed Works The Bible, God’s inspired Word, is the only conclusive source of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of ultimate realities. It is a fountainhead of truth and a gold mine of practical principles, waiting to liberate and enrich the person who will pursue its truth and wealth. Thus, Paul’s instruction to “be diligent … a worker” has been applied by serious Christians through the centuries as a directive to study the Word of God. The only way to healthy, balanced living is through “rightly dividing” God’s Word. Such application of God’s Word is the result of diligent study. Psalm 119:11 further urges memorizing the Word of God as a mighty deterrent against sin. Memorizing the Scripture also provides an immediate availability of God’s words as a sword, ready in witnessing and effective in spiritual warfare. As we continue to pour God’s Word into our hearts, let it “dwell in [us] richly” (Col. 3:16) today. Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15 NLT) (Celebrate-YouVersion)
