2 Timothy

Wow - don't you just love when God speaks to you through His word?  Lately, he keeps bringing me back to 2nd Timothy, a letter from Paul to Timothy.  The overwhelming theme is an encouragement to Timothy to endure whatever comes his way and continue to fight for the Truth.  Paul tells Timothy that he himself has "fought the good fight, he has finished the race."

Almost every day for a week now, God continues to draw me to this book.  I share with you the following, as it seems very important at this point in time:

"... I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.  For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.  Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.  But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry."  2 Timothy 4:1-5

Peace and Happy Thanksgiving.
