SPIRITUALL
DIARY FOR 5-23-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Reminder of truth
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: 1Timothy 5:6,7
Message of the verse: 6 “But she who gives herself to pleasure is
dead while she is living.
7 Give orders to this effect, so that no evil
may be said of anyone.”
Paul is speaking of the widows in verse six,
but in verse seven he gives Timothy a reminder of the truth that he has been
writing about to him. Verse six speaks
of a widow who is probably not a believer and thus should not get the support
like those who are believers. They must
think they are believers, but their lives do not show that they have any fruit
in it. The reason Paul reminds Timothy
of the truths that he has been teaching is so that these widows and all in his
church would live a life that is above reproach, so that no one in the
community could say anything evil about them.
Spiritual meaning for my life
today: To live without reproach is a
wonderful testimony of the grace and mercy of God in my life. The fact that God has done all of the work of
salvation in my life should give me the incentive to live a life that will be
pleasing to Him.
The
Word of God brought conviction to me today.
My
Steps of Faith Today: To live a life
that is pleasing to God, and this can only be done by the power of His Holy
Spirit and the teaching of His Word.
Memory
verse for the Week: Romans 6:12
Therefore
do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies, that you should obey it in its
lusts.
