2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV)
Do your best to present yourself to God as one
approved,[a] a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word
of truth.
A wealthy woman who was traveling overseas saw a bracelet
she thought was irresistible, so she sent her husband this cable: "Have
found wonderful bracelet. Price $75,000. May I buy it?" Her husband
promptly wired back this response: "No, price too high." But the
cable operator omitted the comma, so the woman received this message: "No
price too high." Elated, she purchased the bracelet. Needless to say, at
her return her husband was dismayed. It was just a little thing--a comma--but
what a difference it made!
There is a good example for us as we study God’s Word. We need to read the complete passage and not
just one verse so we don’t miss the comma.
Dear Lord, thank You for Your Word for us to study. Help
us to take every word and see how it fits as a whole. In the Name of Jesus,
Amen.
