God’s Truth for Trying Times - 8/1/20

 

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 ‭2:22‬ ‭‬‬

“So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.” (2 Timothy‬ ‭2:22)

 

CONSIDER: I think of Joseph in Genesis and being pursued by Potiphar’s wife, and how he fled from her entrapment and temptation. Here we are being told to run away from passions that would ruin us and instead pursue what is good and right and true along with fellow believers who call on the name of the Lord - trust in him for salvation - with hearts made pure by God himself.

 

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?
