Spiritual GrowthExamining the Scriptures
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
The Bereans were commended for examining Scripture daily to verify what they were taught.
The Bereans received the word with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul said was true. They combined openness to teaching with careful verification through God's Word. This is the model for spiritual growth—eagerly learning while testing everything against Scripture. Daily examination develops discernment and deepens understanding.
For Today
Make it your practice to verify what you hear or read against Scripture, studying God's Word daily like the Bereans.
Prayer
Lord, give me eagerness to learn and wisdom to test everything against Your Word. Make me a diligent student of Scripture like the Bereans. Amen.
