2 Timothy 1:1-2:7
Lord, we’re not to keep Your Word to
ourselves. You’ve given us the “Gospel.” Help us to share it with
“faithful” people who will “pass it on to others” (2 Timothy 1:11,13
& 2:2).
2 Timothy 2:8-3:9
Help us, Lord, to “remember Jesus Christ,
risen from the dead” (2 Timothy 2:8). Jesus is the living Lord. Help
us never to forget this. When we’re tempted to forget Him, help us to
remember why He died. “He died that we might be forgiven. He died to
make us good, that we might go at last to heaven, saved by His precious
blood.”When we’re tempted to forget Him, help us to remember that He’s
alive today – and He lives in us. Help us to say, in our hearts, “I must
decrease. Christ in me must increase” (John 3:30).
2 Timothy 3:10-4:22
We thank You, Lord, for “the Holy
Scriptures which are able to make us wise for salvation through faith in
Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). Help us to “preach the Word” in the
power of “the Holy Spirit” (2 Timothy 4:2 & 1 Peter 1:12) – and help
us to remember this: When all our words have been spoken, Your Word
remains “the living and abiding Word of God” (1 Peter 1:23). When all
our words have been spoken, the ministry of the Holy Spirit continues.
Through His ongoing ministry, Your Word is “written” in the “hearts” of
those who have heard the Word preached (2 Corinthians 3:3). Thank You,
Lord, for the Holy Scriptures – and the Holy Spirit.
