Please read 2 Timothy 3.
Meditate on verse 1.
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
The last days started
after Christ’s ascension (Acts 1).
Timothy and Paul were living in the last days and so are you. The
last days are the days being lived as you await the return of Christ. 2000 years ago, Paul wrote the description of
people who do not know Christ during the last days and commands Timothy to
avoid them (2 Timothy 3:2-5). In the
last days people will be:
*lovers
of self
*lovers
of money
*boastful
*arrogant
*revilers
*disobedient
to parents
*ungrateful
*unholy
*unloving
*irreconcilable
*malicious
gossips
*without
self-control
*brutal
*haters
of good
*treacherous
*reckless
*conceited
*lovers
of pleasure rather than lovers of God
*holding
to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power
People have not changed in 2000 years and still need God and
His Word to change their lives for good.
Paul exhorted Timothy to continue in the things he had learned from the
sacred writings (God’s Word) because Scripture gave him the wisdom leading to
salvation in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:14-15).
Unless the Truth of God’s Word changes you, you are the nineteen things
listed above. Pray for Scripture to
impact you and those you love.
Pray 2 Timothy 3:16-17 over yourself and those for whom you
are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“All Scripture is
inspired by You, God.
Let it teach,
reprove, correct, and train
__________ and me in
righteousness.
Make us Your people,
adequate and equipped for every good work.
In Your name, Jesus~”
