2 Timothy 2:1-26 "Thou therefore, my son, be strong..." KJV - Online Bible Study Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall beable to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness , as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier . 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned ,except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7Consider what I say ; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 8 Remember that JesusChrist of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 Wherein I suffertrouble , as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound . 10 Therefore Iendure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in ChristJesus with eternal glory. 11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live withhim: 12 If we suffer , we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not , yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 14 Of these things put them inremembrance , charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but tothe subverting of the hearers . 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vainbabblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17 And their word will eat as doth acanker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Who concerning the truth have erred , sayingthat the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless thefoundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Letevery one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there arenot only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, andsome to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel untohonour, sanctified , and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 22 Fleealso youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lordout of a pure heart. 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid , knowing that they do genderstrifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive ; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach,patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves ; if God peradventure will givethem repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves outof the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

FaithWriters.com-Christian Christian Living - A Time to be Glad:

If one were to look into the various news stories in the media one would not find much to celebrate in terms of making one glad? The main events around the world can cause one into despair. How can you find the real meaning of joy today? The answer to this lack of gladness could be closer than one could ever imagine. Jesus is always the solution.

During my daily devotion the words of St. Peter in God's Word came to as a ray of light and pure joy. He said rejoice with unspeakable joy in The Joy of our Lord of all salvation. Therefore we must glorify God in Christ Jesus and The Power of The Holy Spirit for all things inn Christ Jesus.

Nevertheless, we continue to find that there is still deep suffering in the world. This problem must be addressed with prayer for others today. Lord we continue to pray for all people and God's Creation in Christ Jesus name. Let The Joy of The Lord Jesus rule your hearts and minds today. The Joy of Jesus needs you to lift Him Up all-day and everyday. Glory to God in The Joy of Jesus.

Home | Daily Word: "PRAY FOR OTHERS
I pray for others with transcendent faith.
As I behold the Christ in people with whom I live and work, I behold, appreciate and praise their innate goodness. I recognize that we all are following the divine light within to the best of our ability, no matter what the appearance.

As I persist in beholding the Christ presence in every person, I am free from the limitation of human judgment. I am free from criticism and condemnation. I am free from thoughts and attitudes that keep me from loving, understanding and helping other persons.

I do not judge where someone is in their spiritual development. My recognition of the Christ in another calls forth the Christ perfection in us all.

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.--John 12:32"

Read: John 14:19-27

Peace I leave with you. —John 14:27

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 34-36; Hebrews 2

Ted, one of the elders in our church, used to be a police officer. One day after responding to a report of violence, he said the situation turned life-threatening. A man had stabbed someone and then menacingly turned the blade toward Ted. A fellow officer had taken position and fired his weapon at the assailant as he attacked Ted. The criminal was subdued, but Ted was shot in the crossfire. As he was driven by ambulance to the hospital, he felt deep waves of peace flowing over his soul from the Holy Spirit. Ted felt so tranquil that he was able to offer words of comfort to the law enforcement officer who was emotionally distraught over the crisis.

The Lord Jesus promised us peace in crisis. Just hours before His own crucifixion, Christ comforted His disciples with these words: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).

What is your worst fear? If you should have to face it, Christ will be there with you. Trusting Him through prayer makes available “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,” and it “will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:7).

O the blessedness to nestle
Like a child upon His breast;
Finding ever, as He promised
Perfect comfort, peace, and rest. —Hennessay

The secret of peace is to give every anxious care to God.
