Brothers and Sisters 😊
📖 In 2nd Timothy chapter 1 today we see Paul’s instructions and encouragement for Timothy (and all believers) to follow in his footsteps with endurance and perseverance to the end…
“Fan into flame the gift that God has given you” (vs 6),
“Do not be ashamed to proclaim the Gospel of Christ” (vs 8)
“Follow the sound words that you have heard from me (vs 13), and
“Guard the good deposit that God has entrusted to you” (vs 14).
Q. What does the idea of “God’s footprints in the sand” mean to you?
A. Oh my precious child, it is I who will carry you.
🙏 Heavenly Father thank you so much that our ability to endure and persevere in this life is found fully in you, and is firmly rooted not in our own limited strength, but in your sovereign grace and power.
🙏 Holy Spirit we praise you today that you have not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and self control – Help us be disciplined in our walk, dependent upon you, and thankful that you will complete the good work that you began in us…
✝️ “God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace which He gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now have been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus…It was this Jesus, who for our sake abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel.”
2 Timothy 1:9-10
