During the pandemic, my two granddaughters—six and eight years old—were being home-schooled by their mom. One day, the eight-year-old had a spelling bee with her sister. “Spell ‘elephant,’” the older one said.
“Let her spell small animals, not big ones,” said her mom.
The older sister paused, then said, “Spell ‘mosquito.’”

I’d like to springboard off of that to advice given to us by Dick Goupille, our first pastor, He suggested that we send a prayer heavenward before we tried to explain God’s Word to others. He knew we wouldn’t want to be confusing when we shared God’s Word. Does the Bible address this fact? Glad you asked.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the Word of truth.
1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
Are you striving to be ready? Give it some thought.
