Rightly dividing

I was laying in bed this morning, about three-quarters asleep, and I suddenly had a thought run across my mind.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. ~ 2 Timothy 2:15

God expects us to know his Word well enough that when someone needs to hear a certain passage of scripture, we're able to divide out the portion they need to hear and present it to them. I had the image in my mind of slicing cookie dough and handing one slice to one person, the next slice to another person, etc.

I just thought it was neat. :)
