God's Plan and Timing (2 Tim. 4:18)

SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 9-26-02

 

My Worship Time                                                      Focus:  God’s plan and Timing

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                                     Reference:  2Timothy 4:18

 

            Message of the verse:  “18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.”

            Paul knew that even though he could be harmed while here on earth that God would bring him safely into His heaven when his life on earth was done.  When he thought of this he just had to praise the Lord by saying, “to Him be glory forever and ever.  Amen.”  The verse shows the great faith that Paul had in the Lord.

           

Spiritual meaning for my life today:  I can learn not to love my life on this earth as if it is the finial place where I will live.  This verse shows me that no matter what men do to me that my home is in heaven when the Lord calls me home and that is truly something to praise the Lord for.  Amen.

 

The Word of God has brought me great hope, and confidence in the wonderful hope to me as a believer.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  To trust the Lord to give me the ticket when it is time to get on the train.  I need not worry about things of tomorrow for today will have enough worries to contend with.  The Lord will get me through life one day at a time.

 

Memory verse for the week:  2Timothy 4:18

 

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever.  Amen.
