Fill 'Er Up

3 For there is going to come a time when people won’t listen to the truth but will go around looking for teachers who will tell them just what they want to hear. 4 They won’t listen to what the Bible says but will blithely follow their own misguided ideas.

5 Stand steady, and don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Bring others to Christ. Leave nothing undone that you ought to do.
2 Timothy 4:3-5 Living Bible

Sometimes, it's like trying to choose a restaurant when you want to go out to eat. You can't make up your mind, so you just go anywhere to get something that will fill you up. Not necessarily good for your health, just something to chew on. As a nation, we're addicted to junk food.

Verse 3 in The Message reads, You’re going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy.

As Christ followers, do we want to fill up on junk food or taste the pure, sweet goodness of His Truth? 

Prayer:

Father,

          Forgive us for any misguided thoughts and ideas of our own. We want to follow only You. Help us to stand steadfast in Your Word and to not be afraid of suffering for You. We don't want to leave anything undone that You would have us do. Help us to bring others to Christ. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
