SCRIPTURE: 1 Timothy 4:6, 13-16
-Watch your life and doctrine closely. Preserve in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers (verse 16).
OBSERVATION:
Please read the whole passage; there is hope and promise woven through the whole passage. The teachings of others grow us in the faith (vs. 6). WE are called to read scripture and share through preaching and teaching (vs. 13), because others have seen this gift in us (vs. 14). If we are diligent we participate in Salvation.
APPLICATION:
I must find time to thank those who have believed in me, taught me faith and encouraged me. I must diligently study and share scripture and faith with others.
PRAYERS:
Thank you Lord, for those who taught me faith and set me on your lap. Use me to lead others to you.
YIELD:
The feeling one can do everything on their own must be yielded to live with God.
