Paul says all scripture is inspired by God and can be used profitably for teaching.
This surely is the question we constantly ask.
For the answer to the first part I am still searching.
I pray every day I may complete this task.

I fear my asking may never have an answer.
But surely scripture can be a transformer.
So I will settle patiently for the latter.
And await grace for the former.

It is not by some sudden vision.
But in trudging small steps, putting cynicism to rout.
Day by day reading, seeking, never demanding precision.
And sometimes a shaft of light will pierce the cloud of doubt.

But in myself alone I can place no trust.
It is for Your dear Holy Spirit that I must wait to dispel all distrust.
