Peace. Always.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

2 Thessalonians 3:16

Reading:

2 Thessalonians 3

Do I want people to pray this for me: “that the word of the Lord may have free course”?

Where do I find my strength?

What kind of confidence do others have in me and about me?

Is God directing my heart?

Disorderly — does that describe me?

“Be not weary in well doing” — how does that apply to me right now?

Where do I find my peace?

[The Scriptures say in 2 Thessalonians 3:1 -- Pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course]
from 2 Thessalonians 3:1

Babbling Along

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2 Timothy 2:16

Reading:

2 Timothy 2:2:1-6, 15-26

What do I know about being strong in grace?

How are the affairs of this life affecting me?

Who is enjoying the fruits of my life?

Am I exerting myself to stand approved before God?

“Depart from iniquity” — How do I purpose to do that today?

Of what do I need to purge myself?

In my fleeing and following, am I doing so “with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart”?

Why should I be gentle and meek toward others?

Do I consider myself at risk of the devil’s snare?

[The Scriptures say in 2 Timothy 2:21 -- Be a vessel unto honour]
from 2 Timothy 2:21
