2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NASB) All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

Today for lunch I gave my son a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some green beans. He licked all the peanut and butter and jelly out of the sandwich leaving a smushed pile of wheat bread behind, and didn’t even touch the green beans. He picked out his favorite parts, and got back to his busy schedule of playing. Well, I know he will eat green beans, so I followed him around with a fork until he ate all of them.

While I was following him around with the green beans, I thought of my own attitude towards Bible study. It’s easy to take a few minutes and read one of my favorite passages, the ones I understand and am encouraged by, and then get back to my busy schedule. But in order to grow, I need to put in the work of studying ALL the Scripture, because God put ALL of it in there for a reason!
