God’s Truth for Trying Times - 11/15/21

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: 1 Timothy 1:3-4

As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. [1 Timothy 1:3-4 ESV] 

CONSIDER: The stewardship from God that is by faith is holding firmly to the word of God once for all given. God wants his servants to protect the truth, as the church is the pillar and support of the truth. Any false or twisted doctrines being taught are to be corrected and people are to be pointed in the way of truth.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?

PRAY: Pray these verses to God as a prayer. Pour out your heart in praise to God. Pray for others. Present needs to Him.
