Week 38, Day 3 September 21, 2022 Scripture: 2 Timothy 2 Here’s a lesson on how to conduct ourselves in today’s world: “Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.” (2 Timothy 2:22–26) What if we were to take the counsel to Timothy and apply it to our own lives? There is so much wise instruction for us as we navigate our faith in today’s world: Flee evil, pursue righteousness. Don’t engage in foolish and stupid arguments. Gently instruct our opponents, in hope that they would turn to God. Today, pick one of these areas, and pursue it with a heart towards honoring God with your life and caring for others. God be with you!
