Do You Need A Tune-Up?

No, not your car.  I’m talking about you.  Do you need a tune-up? I know how I am and the Word of God tells me how I ought to be. It is corrective. It is the reason that I yearn to dig into the Word of God the way people yearn to watch football. I get a lot out of it. It gives me a tune-up. I already have a new engine. But every day, I need to be in tune with God’s wisdom.
I love my friends and I love the wisdom that comes from them. I love reading the wisdom that I get especially from the old classic Christian writers but they are fallible, at best.
A combination of the Word of God guided by the Holy Spirit is not only correct. It correctly corrects.
In occasional moments of transparency, I will admit that I am a bad boy. That is why I sit down, pray, then break open my Bible and read it.
I need that correction in my life.
Two Scriptures support this idea. The first is Matthew 6:33. It says:

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

The second is 2 Timothy 3:16. It says:

“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”
