God’s Truth for Trying Times - 12/9/21

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 4:6

If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. [1 Timothy 4:6 ESV]

CONSIDER: Our souls are to be nourished by the solid word of God. We are meant to follow sound theology. What this verse is saying is that Timothy ought to teach and preach the word of God so that they can grow in Christ. Church leaders today must also do the same.

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.
