2 Timothy 2:15 

15 Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker

who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately.

 

Reading

 

The "more"  I read the bible.

The "more"  I begin to see.

That one day  I will be libel

for what I ought to be.

 

When I read the scriptures.

Facts of life fly in my face.

Convenient forgotten instructions

and my excuses based on grace

 

The Word proclaims so clearly

my reasonable service from day to day

and all my excuses show merely

lack of appreciation for the "price" God paid.

 

Unless the issues of my heart

are directed in God's way

my life will totally fall apart

even if seemingly I get by today
