God-breathed

II Timothy 3 says 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.
Do you know why the words of the Bible are so powerful?  Because they are God-breathed.  
When God breathes, creation happens.  Dust responds.  Waters form.  Stars emerge.  Darkness and Light separate. 
The word of God is our tool for life to teach us, to rebuke and train us when we need it, and to equip us for every good work – much like the staff of a shepherd leads and guides the sheep to safety and not off the side of a cliff.
However, it’s up to us to respond to that breath of life, to go where the shepherd leads us, and to stay right in the crook of his staff.
And the scripture profits us nothing if we do not read it or believe it – fully.
God-breathed words.  I want to ingest them today so that I can live a full life for Him.
