Persecutions (2 Tim. 3:12)


SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 9-01-02

 

My Worship Time                                                      Focus:  Persecutions

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                                     Reference:  2Timothy 3:12

 

            Message of the verse:  “12 Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” 

            As I look at this verse my thinking as to why believers are persecuted is because when they live a godly life they are living the opposite way that those of the world live and this makes those of the world uneasy.  Believers are to live in the world but not be a part of the world and when they do this they will be persecuted, even in this country that we live in.

            Spiritual meaning for my life today:  Persecution is a good barometer for how I am doing for the cause of Christ.  Persecution in the way Paul suffered it is not going on in this country at this time, however many believe it is not that far off.  I believe if persecutions of that type happen here that God will give His matchless grace to get me through it.

 

The Word of God has brought conviction to my life today, and also instruction too.

 

My Steps of Faith Today:  I need the Lord’s grace to allow me to go through this days activity without having many problems with IBS.
