Father, if I am to be victorious in living my life for You, every day must be Your day. I must keep my eyes focused on You. Help me, Father, to do so.
2 Timothy 4:19-22 (<<click here to read the passage)
And for Paul, that’s a wrap. No more letters. No more missionary journeys. From his life-changing encounter with You, Lord, on the road to Damascus, his entire life was devoted to You. As he writes the final lines in his final letter, he looks briefly back, remembering some who had traveled with him, prayed with him, and supported and worked alongside him. He had diligently worked to spread the Gospel far and wide and had strived to ensure that it would not die with him but, through the lives of people like Timothy, would continue to impact the world.
Lord, what an example! Paul held nothing back, and due in part to his tenacity, the Good News of the Gospel continues to affect lives today. You were able to use Paul during his lifetime, and You continue to impact the world with the words inspirationally given to him.
I am no Paul, Lord, but I give myself to You to use as You will. Help me to listen, and when I have heard, may I act. And when I act, may I do so with wisdom and courage so that I, too, may proclaim Your word to a world that truly needs Your Good News!
