Good Morning!! In our spiritual lives it can be both easy and tempting to sit back, waiting for some momentous push into deeper relationship with God. However, in reading Paul's instructions to Timothy, we notice that Paul told Timothy to focus on building a pattern of faithfulness rather than relying on a single event to bring instant change.
Continue in what you have learned and firmly believed.—2 Timothy 3:14 (NRSV)
Paul instructed Timothy to continue in what he had learned. In essence Paul was telling him to develop his own life pattern by obeying God in everyday things. We can draw great encouragement from that counsel. It tells us to look at everyday choices and actions,...like loving those close to us, being honest at work, helping someone who is hurting, trusting God for things,...as this is the path to spiritual development.
Learn to see the importance of everyday choices.
God, keep our hearts focused on obedience and service in the daily events of life. Help us to honor You and serve You well in them. Amen.
"Our trusting in God's care, should never be based on our understanding of His plan."
