Lack of holiness in your life is a good way to keep from being approved by the Lord. Paul tells you to be diligent to present yourself approved to God, which indicates it takes work. This is not to be a hit or miss situation, but a daily act on your part. Temptations will come to get you to think or act like the world, but when you have the goal of always wanting to have the Lord’s approval, you will do your best to resist those thoughts. The next thing mentioned is that you are to rightly divide the Word of truth. Many who do not read their Bibles, claim it is too hard to understand. This is only an excuse because the Holy Spirit is very willing to help them understand. Any time you don’t understand something, ask the Lord to direct you, because He wants you to use His promises effectively.
I shall never have asked too much, I shall never have thought too much, until I’ve asked beyond God’s ability!
2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
