Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: The Courage to Obey
SCRIPTURE READING: 2 Timothy 2:1-3
In today’s passage, the apostle Paul tells us to “be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (v. 1). He knew the Lord stood by his side and strengthened him so that the good news would be spread. And Paul moved forward in faith (2 Timothy 4:17).
In the same way, the Holy Spirit gives us the courage and power to obey God’s commands, so we can rely upon His might to carry us. As believers, we should …
- Share knowledge. The church not only possesses the good news about salvation; it also has the full riches of God’s Word. Many people have listened to biblical teaching and experienced the Lord intervening in their lives. To keep those lessons to oneself can leave unbelievers in harm’s way and deprive fellow Christians of necessary wisdom.
- Suffer willingly. Hardship is part of the Christian experience. Jesus tells us we will face tribulation, but we can take heart because He has already “overcome the world” (John 16:33). It is little wonder, then, that Paul reminds Timothy to stand strong in the Lord and see to it that the teaching is shared (2 Tim. 2:1-2).
Paul encouraged Timothy to “remember Jesus Christ” (2 Timothy 2:8). This also applies to us. When we focus on the Lord, His grace strengthens us to share boldly and endure faithfully.
Bible in One Year: Job 22-25
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The grace of our Savior strengthens us to share boldly and endure faithfully.
