SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 2 TIMOTHY 3:10-17

Obey the Teachings

¹⁰ But you have followed what I teach, the way I live, my goal, faith, patience, and love. You know I never give up.¹¹ You know how I have been hurt and have suffered, as in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I have suffered, but the Lord saved me from all those troubles. ¹² Everyone who wants to live as God desires, in Christ Jesus, will be persecuted. ¹³ But people who are evil and cheat others will go from bad to worse. They will fool others, but they will also be fooling themselves.

¹⁴ But you should continue following the teachings you learned. You know they are true, because you trust those who taught you.¹⁵ Since you were a child you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise. And that wisdom leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their lives, for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right. ¹⁷ Using the Scriptures, the person who serves God will be capable, having all that is needed to do every good work.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Now, oh heavenly Father, I ask to be called as a witness to your love by the love I extend to others; a precursor of your justice by my unfailing commitment to what is right and good; a lamp set on a hill, reflecting the light of Christ in my forgiveness, mercy and compassion; and a harvester of souls through my humble and dedicated servanthood. In Jesus' name, I pray,

Amen.

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