50 Day Journey of Joy – Scripture
Week 7 Monday, March 29th, 2021
Read 2 Timothy 3:10-17 NLT
10 But you, Timothy, certainly know what I teach, and how I live, and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my patience, my love, and my endurance.
11 You know how much persecution and suffering I have endured. You know all about how I was persecuted in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra—but the Lord rescued me from all of it.
12 Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13 But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.
14 But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.
15 You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
Questions for Meditation
- What does Paul remind Timothy of in verse 11? What does he tell him is true for all committed Christians? (vs.12)
- What is Timothy instructed to remain faithful to? (vs.14,15) What does God use His Word to do? (vs.17)
Pray
Ask God to use your life and to stand strong for Christ. Thank Him for His Word and ask Him to prepare and equip you to do every good work.
