“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does
not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15
One of my favorite movies growing up was The Princess Bride. In it, one of the characters continually used the word, “Inconceivable!” in response to what was being said. Finally, one of his cohorts told him, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
In a way, this has been my point with the devotional journey you’ve just taken. I wanted to share with you some of the verses and sayings we’ve all been quoting or misquoting for years, that they don’t mean what we think they mean. Further, we have looked at other sayings that we thought were in the Bible, but are actually not there at all. I think I made it clear that I have been just as guilty as the next person.
I hope you have been blessed by taking this 28-day journey. My goal here was not to be perfect in my execution, but rather to point you to study the Scriptures on your own as well as extra-Biblical resources that may help with understanding context.

God bless you on your spiritual journey!
