SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 7-06-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Closing thoughts
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: 1Timothy 6:20,21
Message
of the verse: “20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to
you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is
falsely called "knowledge" --
21 which some have
professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you.” Paul tells Timothy two opposite things in
this verse. He say to guard the truth,
and this truth that he is speaking about is the whole truth of the gospel of
Jesus Christ that God has entrusted Paul with, and now he puts it in the hands
of Timothy. Timothy would pass it on and
so on until it becomes the responsibility of the generation, which I am apart
of. I too am to pass it on, which I have
done with my children. Paul also tells Timothy to stay away from false
“knowledge,” which is given out by the false teachers. It sounds good but a person can get hooked on
it before he knows it and will be in trouble, as Paul writes about in verse
twenty-one. Paul says at the end of the
letter, “Grace be with you.” The ‘you’
is plural, and thus this letter was for all in Timothy’s congregation.
Spiritual
meaning for my life today: Guard the
truth, and pass it on, and keep away from the lies that the false teachers are
giving out are two good things for me to do each day, or at least when the
opportunity takes place.
The Word of God was informative and instructive today.
My
Steps of Faith Today: Remember to fight the
good fight of not being fearful, and not being lustful.
Memory
verses for the week: Romans 5:20,21
& 1Timothy 6:6,7
Moreover
the law entered that the offence might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned
in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Now
godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, ad it is certain we can carry
nothing out.
