SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 9-20-02
My
Worship Time Focus:
Paul’s faithful friend
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: 2Timothy 4:12
Message
of the verse: “12 But Tychicus
I have sent to Ephesus. Ephesians 6:21 But
that you also may know about my circumstances, how I am doing, Tychicus, the
beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make everything known
to you. Colossians 4:7 ¶ As to all my affairs, Tychicus, our beloved brother
and faithful servant and fellow bondservant in the Lord, will bring you
information. Titus 3:12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every
effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter
there.”
These four
verses tell all that is known about this man Tychicus, the faith friend of
Paul. Paul has mentioned many names in
the letters that he wrote, nearly 100 names in all of his letters. Some of these were people who had abandon the
faith, or left Paul in trouble. Many,
however are people like Tychicus, who is a faithful friend and brother in the
Lord and had given his life in service to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Spiritual
meaning for my life today: The more
that I look at life the more that I see that the only life that counts is one
that is lived in service to the Lord Jesus Christ, just the kind of life the
Tychicus lived. The things that are
written about him would be so wonderful to have written about my life someday.
The
Word of God was comforting and insightful to me today. It was also challenging to me today.
My
Steps of Faith Today: To
live a life that is in all ways pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ. To be used by Him for service in His Kingdom.
Memory
verses for the week: 2Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I
have kept the faith.
