God Desires Goodness & Godliness
Timothy ministered alongside
Paul as missionary & later received
the challenging assignment of
pastoring the church at Ephesus.
Paul’s 1st letter resembles a manual
for building church leadership.
It also contains many principles
to impact the lives of others.
Lord, we aim Be Example of You:
Everything God created is Good
and nothing is to be rejected if
it is received with Thanksgiving
(ITim 4:4). Train yourself to
Be Godly. For physical training is
of some value, but godliness for
all things (v7-8). Be An Example to
all believers in what you teach, in
the way you live, in your love, your
faith and your purity (v12). Amen.
Lord, Thank U for all the wonderful
pleasures you created for us.
Thank you for your beautiful
creation; for wind, rain & sunshine.
Thank you for the joy of friendship
and the intimacy of marriage.
Thank you for the enjoyment
of good and nourishing food.
Over all these joys, Thank you
for your gift of salvation. Amen.
Lord, the world thinks external
image is everything. Forgive me
for the times I’m overly concerned
with external appearance. Grant
me the wisdom and the discipline
to expend the time and energy to
care for the Soul. Grant me grace
so that U be pleased more & more
with my Thots & Intentions. Amen.
Lord, help me not to shy away
from using the gift that U give me.
And enable me to Be An Example
of Your love, faith and purity.
Thankful that your opinion of me
is more important than any other.
And that the work You accomplish
through me is effective whether
in my gifting or in weaknesses;
for I depend on You. Amen.
