God’s Truth for Trying Times - 8/16/20

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 ‭4:5‬ ‭‬‬

“As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”

‭‭(2 Timothy‬ ‭4:5‬)

CONSIDER: Timothy was to be self-controlled and deal with suffering for the gospel, and preach the gospel to all people, and stay focused on the ministry entrusted to him. That’s what we are to do. The only way to do this is in the power of the Holy Spirit.

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?
