Think. 2 Timothy 2.

This is a rich chapter, full of advice. I have read that pastors would do well to read this chapter every day. It was verse 2:7 that captured my attention this day:
"Think about what I am saying and the Lord will give you understanding of all this."

So I did. Here are the verses I thought about:

Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately. (2 Timothy 2:15 NET)
Now in a wealthy home there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also ones made of wood and of clay, and some are for honorable use, but others for ignoble use. So if someone cleanses himself of such behavior, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:20,21 NET)


How about you?

Do you need some inspiration?



Maybe not.

All kidding aside (and I hope you enjoyed the video), this is a tremendous lesson from Paul. God will open up His Word to new levels of understanding if we take the time to think.
