Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.

2 Timothy 2: 15 KJV

Every morning God's friends start their day by talking to Him in prayer. They ask Him to show them the work they should do. They invite Him to help in their big and little decisions. They ask Him for help to see Satan's tricks and avoid them. They read from the Bible, stories of faith. The more they read, the more they love God. Every evening God's friends talk to Him again. They love to read the Bible. All day long they are talking to Him as they work and play.

In Psalms 119: 105 the Bible says, "Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

Soon there is to be trouble over all the world. It is important for everyone to seek to know God. We have no time to delay. Study and learn how to handle the Word. Compare verse with verses in other places in other places of the Bible. Study carefully, so you will know a good answer for what you believe.

Jesus was sitting on a hillside watching a wedding festival. He decided to tell the story about the wedding to make an important point. You can read the story in Matthew 25.

The wise bridesmaids took flasks of oil. They stored up treasures of Bible stories. When they were asked to wake up and go out to meet the bridegroom which represented Jesus, they were prepared. Matthew 25: 4.

You have to put fuel in the airplane or it will not run. You have to put gas or diesel in the car or it will not run. You need electricity for the trolley or tram or it will not work. The light bulb needs electricity or it will not give off light. The oil lamp must have oil for it to burn. Jesus said that when we study the Bible it is like putting oil in our lamps. It is like putting fuel in the car, airplane or lawnmower. Without the fuel, the machine will miss and sputter to a stop. We need the Holy Spirit oil to help us obey. Without it we will not be ready to meet Jesus. We will become discouraged and stop. We will miss out on Heaven.

Spirits of demons will pretend to have faith in the Bible. They will pretend to respect the institutions of the church. We must watch for the decoys of Satan. When a hunter is trying to kill a duck, he floats a pretend duck on the water. A duck flying overhead sees this floating duck. He thinks it is a real duck so he wants to join it. He does not know it is a trick. He does not know how dangerous it is.

We must study the Bible to make sure we understand what is the truth. We do not want to be tricked.
