SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 6-28-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Fight the good fight
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference: 1Timothy 6:12
Message
of the verse: “12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of
the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in
the presence of many witnesses.” The
Greek word that is translated “fight,” is translated “agonize” in the
English. It was used in the military and
also used in athletics. Paul was telling
Timothy to agonize over the battle in which all believers are in, and that is
with our foes in the spiritual darkness.
Paul then goes on to tell Timothy to take hold of the eternal life to
which he was called. Paul wanted Timothy
to get a grip on the reality of the matters associated with eternal life. He next tells Timothy the importance of being
able to have a good confession about eternal life and the things that pertain
to it. Jesus Christ had a good confession
of faith when He was on trial for His life.
Spiritual
meaning for my life today: It is a
good idea for me to follow all of the things that are in this verse, to fight
the good fight to realize that I too need to have a good confession of faith to
live and to tell others about. I need to
know the things that pertain to salvation.
I have been instructed by the Word of
God today.
My Steps of Faith Today: To do a better job of getting my
devotions done.
