2 Timothy 4 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read 2 Timothy 4.

Meditate on verses 3-4.

 

For the time will come when they will not

endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have

 their ears tickled, they will accumulate for

themselves teachers in accordance to their

own desires and will turn away their ears

from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

 

Today’s meditation verses sound as if they were recently written, just like the list of the ungodly in 2 Timothy 3:2-5.  God’s Word is eternal and continues to be profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

Does 2 Timothy 4:3-4 reprove you?  What teachers and teachings do you follow?  Do you merely want your ears tickled, or do you really want to know Truth?  Are you part of a church where the Bible is preached and taught as the inerrant Word of God, the supreme and final authority for life and faith?  Or does your church capitulate to pop-culture and political correctness, and personal preference?

Pray 2 Timothy 4:2 and 5 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 “LORD, in these last days, let _______ and me

preach the Word; be ready in season and

out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort

with great patience and instruction. 

Let us be sober in all things, endure

hardship, do the work of an

evangelist, and fulfill our ministry.


In Your name, Jesus~”
