Please read 1 Timothy 6.
Meditate on verses 20-21.
O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to
you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter
and the opposing arguments of what is
falsely called “knowledge”— which some have professed and thus gone astray from
the faith. Grace be with you.
Paul closed
his letter to Timothy with a plea to guard the truth entrusted to him. Paul
knew that believing ideas in opposition to God’s Word caused people to stray
from true faith in God.
Insert your
name in place of Timothy in the verses above.
“O _______, guard what has been entrusted to
you...”
God is
begging you to avoid what the world calls “knowledge.” If what you are reading
and learning is in opposition to the Bible, it is a lie. God’s Word is timeless
truth; hold fast the Word of Life, so you will not be deceived by the liar and
father of lies (Philippians 2:16; John 8:44).
Pray 1
Timothy 6:4-5 and 11-12 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a
faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD,
let ________ and me flee from
controversial questions,
disputes about words, envy, strife, abusive
language, evil suspicions,
and constant friction between men of
depraved
mind deprived of the truth.
Help us
flee from those who oppose Godliness as a means of gain.
Let us
pursue righteousness, Godliness,
faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
Let us
fight the good fight of faith
and take
hold of the eternal life to which we were called.
Because of Your name, Jesus~”
