2 Timothy 3: 17 So that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Paul says that Timothy has been blessed to know the Scriptures since he was very young. The Scriptures have been useful in his gaining righteousness.
I'm thinking about my upbringing within the church. It set a stage for a life of seeking more, well, righteousness is the right word. It doesn't sound like a good thing at first glance however. The net effect is, in Paul's words, a chance for me to be able to do God's work.
Prayer: I am blessed to have been raised in the faith. I have known enough hard times to have gained strength and compassion, but not so much to be broken. I'm blessed to have grown up with resources to strengthen my gift of faith.
Amen
