Daily Devotional 5-19-26

Reading: 2 Timothy 3:14-17 - But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Devotional: The Bible you hold contains the words of eternal life. Across 1,500 years, through 40 authors, God orchestrated 66 books into one unified message pointing to Jesus. Unlike ancient texts with mere handfuls of copies, we possess over 5,800 New Testament manuscripts—a testimony to God's preservation of His truth. But here's the challenge: do you treat Scripture as living and active, or as blank pages? Dr. Pruitt's greatest regret wasn't that he failed to read about the Bible, but that he didn't read the Bible itself. Knowledge about God's Word cannot substitute for encountering God through His Word. Today, open Scripture not as a textbook to study, but as a living voice to hear.
