A Last Lecture of sorts…. (devo reflection)

2 Timothy 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,

What we have in this chapter is an apostle, a man of God, who doesn’t know how much time he has on earth. He knows that God has saved him before. He knows God can save him again. He also knows that might not be God’s plan in this situation.

2 Timothy 3:15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

What he is doing in this chapter is his own last lecture of sorts. He knows Timothy is young, but he sees so much promise there. He is trying to encourage Timothy, shore him up, reinforce for Timothy the teachings he has lived and taught, in case he is no longer around to do it in person.

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

Lord, Thank You for the ability to invest time and effort into others, loving them, instructing them, guiding them. Help us always strive to shine Your light and glorify You. Help us to love and encourage each other. Amen.

2 Timothy 3:17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Have a blessed day.
