God’s Truth for Trying Times - 7/17/20

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: 2 Timothy‬ ‭1:6-7‬ ‭‬‬

“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭1:6-7‬)

CONSIDER: Because Timothy had such a sincere faith, Paul needed to remind him of something that he knew he would take to heart. He needed to remember the gift it was bestowed upon him, and not be timid, but serve the Lord with power and love and a sound mind.

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?
