Training for Godliness

We can have knowledge of all sorts – book knowledge, street smarts, sports trivia, history, statistical knowledge of our favorite athlete or hero. While many of these things may be fun to learn, how are they shaping us as people, athletes and women? Knowing God’s Word brings joy and newness to us just as it did in the days of Josiah. Do you know God’s Word? Do you read God’s Word to know God more? What is the importance of knowing God’s Word? What are some ways you can begin today and make God’s Word a priority in your life?

• What is one thing I learned from this story that I can apply to my life before the next lesson?

Core Truths:

• God’s Word brings revival to His people.
• In order to understand godly facts, truths, and principles, we must be intentional about reading His Word and surrounding ourselves with those who have knowledge of His truth.
• Women who have knowledge of God’s Word play a vital role in the lives of God’s people.
