MAY 28
PROFITABLE FOR REPROOF

Scripture:  2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.  That the man of God many be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

    Reproof is the teaching part, along with the working of the Holy Spirit, showing us the things we don’t do right, the things we do wrong and the things we neglect to do that we know we should.  In this respect, the Bible acts as a mirror.  As we read it we are able to see ourselves in it.  We are shown through the Word of God, our sins and our failures and how far short we come to the glory of God.  One good thing about a mirror is that it shows you the way you look right now.  It does not show you how you looked ten years
ago or even yesterday, but how you look right now. It reveals the real you. 
    Another good thing about a mirror is that you can do something about what you are seeing.  A reflection of yourself in a mirror is different from a photograph of yourself. While both are images of what you look like, only the mirror shows you what you look like right now!  And only the mirror, by allowing you to see the dirt, or whatever may be wrong, gives you the opportunity to do something about what you see.  You can’t clean up in the photograph, but you can get clean by looking in the mirror.
    The mirror of God’s Word reveals to us what we are and how we really look right now and then allows us the opportunity to do something about the things that are wrong.  The Scriptures are profitable for reproof and I think the profit is seen in the response we give to it.  Are you ready to get cleaned up today?  Then get in the Word of God!
