Some Things to Remember

¹¹ But you, man of God, run away from all those things. Instead, live in the right way, serve God, have faith, love, patience, and gentleness.¹² Fight the good fight of faith, grabbing hold of the life that continues forever. You were called to have that life when you confessed the good confession before many witnesses.¹³ In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, I give you a command. Christ Jesus made the good confession when he stood before Pontius Pilate.¹⁴ Do what you were commanded to do without wrong or blame until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.¹⁵ God will make that happen at the right time. He is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords.¹⁶ He is the only One who never dies. He lives in light so bright no one can go near it. No one has ever seen God, or can see him. May honor and power belong to God forever. Amen.

¹⁷ Command those who are rich with things of this world not to be proud. Tell them to hope in God, not in their uncertain riches. God richly gives us everything to enjoy.¹⁸ Tell the rich people to do good, to be rich in doing good deeds, to be generous and ready to share.¹⁹ By doing that, they will be saving a treasure for themselves as a strong foundation for the future. Then they will be able to have the life that is true life.

²⁰ Timothy, guard what God has trusted to you. Stay away from foolish, useless talk and from the arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge."²¹ By saying they have that "knowledge," some have missed the true faith.

Grace be with you.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

O LORD, I pray for your support all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and my work is done. Then in your mercy, grant me and my family a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.

Amen.

GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD!!!
