Devotion:
Read 2 Timothy 1:3-14.
Paul reminds Timothy of his heritage in the faith and to be strong in continuing that heritage; to pass along to others what has been given to him. Timothy was in a time of transition. He had been Paul’s helper, and soon he would be on his own as a leader of a church in a difficult environment. Although things were changing, Timothy was not without help. He had everything he needed to face the future if he would hold on to the LORD’s resources. Paul encouraged Timothy with words of hope and encouragement. Paul spoke of finding comfort and strength in God’s grace through Jesus.
When you are facing difficult situations or transitions look back at your experiences. Who is the foundation of your faith? How can you build on that foundation? What gifts has the Holy Spirit given you? How do you share your faith with others?
Personal Worship Option:
Find a new way to express your joy and confidence in Christ, like learning a new worship song, or hosting a Bible study, or offering friendship to someone new in your community or church.
