VERSE:
I [Paul] thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a
clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you
[Timothy] in my prayers.
-- 2 Timothy 1:3
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Timothy+1:3
THOUGHT:
Paul is near the end of his life, facing persecution in a
horrible prison. Many of the young men whom he had mentored have
left the faith or have turned against him. How can he give thanks?
Paul speaks of his confidence in his own victorious future with
Jesus and in his son in the faith, Timothy. What makes this special
is that he communicates it to Timothy. He's not content to just
give thanks to God in prayer! He also tells Timothy in this letter
how precious he is and how the old apostle prays for his son in the
faith, Timothy. When was the last time you sent a note of thanks to
the people you appreciate, letting them know they give you reason
to rejoice before the throne of God?
PRAYER:
Matchless Father of all grace, thank you! Thank you for every
spiritual blessing I have in Christ. Thank you today for the
special people who are such a blessing to me in my walk of faith
.. (take a minute and just say their names before the Father).
Help me grow in my ability to show my appreciation and approval of
these precious people, so that they can know what a blessing they
are to me. In Jesus' name I thank you. Amen.
