2 Timothy 1:13-14
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

What of Today’s Verse…

We live in a world of keys, locks, alarms, and security systems. Paul’s words here shouldn’t come as a surprise to us. The things that are most valuable to us we protect. What is more precious to us than the truth of God’s saving grace in the Gospel. Thankfully, God has pre-wired all of us with a security system to help protect that incredibly precious hope. This security system lives in us. It is the Holy Spirit.

Let us Pray:

Help me, O God, to not compromise your truth to legalism or license. I want to live, and show others how to live, a holy life. I want to share with them your grace and mercy. But most of all Father, I want them to join with me in welcoming Jesus when he returns. Please empower me by your! Spirit to see through falsehood and error and protect and live your truth. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.’

Words of Wisdom

I CARE
I care for and honour the glory of God’s creativity that is everywhere present in life.

Dedication to being a caregiver is deeply rewarding. We are serving those whom God has crowned “with glory and honour,” which includes all because we are each one a creation of God.
 
We are an ongoing part of the creative process when we feed, teach, comfort, and care in all ways for God’s creations. We, too, are God’s creations, so we let the divine in us reach out to the divine in others.
 
We are expressing our caring nature when we call or stop by to see someone who needs reassurance. The care we give to one another, to our pets and other animals, to planet Earth is honouring the glory of God’s creativity, a creativity that is everywhere present in life.
 
“Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honour.”—Psalm 8:5
