God’s Truth for Trying Times - 7/21/20

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 ‭2:1-2‬ ‭‬‬

“You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”

‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭2:1-2)

CONSIDER: Paul considers Timothy a child in the faith. He wants him to be strengthened in the word of God and not just hold onto it himself but give it to other faithful men who can teach others. This is how people are mentored and the faith is passed on and people are equipped for ministry.

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?
