Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:14–15, NIV 1984).
My Musings – These are the things we need to continually ask ourselves. Are we really doing our best? Would He approve, or will we be ashamed when we are presented to Him? How can we know, what will guide us? “Correctly [handling] the word of truth.”
My Advice – It is being mishandled a lot these days by people taking it in directions that were not intended in order to please their own understanding. But we “[must] not turn from it to the right or to the left.” (Joshua 1:7, NIV 1984), or “depend on [our] own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5, NLT 2015).
