Reminder - I Have to Ask

Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus. Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.

2nd Timothy 1:15-16 NLT

Has your trust in someone or something ever been betrayed? Have you given up on someone or something because it took longer than you expected for it to come together? Or have you ever been so plumb weary at the end of a very long day that you just wanted to go home, pull the covers over your head, and forget it all?

In all areas of life, we MUST, Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching... - a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus. And we MUST, Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.

Are you trustworthy? You may think,  I'm not a thief. I'm not a liar. I'm not a   (fill in the blank).  Yes, that makes me trustworthy. That's not what I'm asking you. Are you trustworthy with the great and glorious Gospel message that God has written on your heart?

Are we trustworthy to keep His message pure and true - not adding anything to it or taking anything away?

Are we trustworthy to not destroy the trust others have in us because of how we feel about what happened today or last week or this week or this month or this year?

Are we trustworthy to share the great and glorious Gospel message with those whom God has entrusted to us?

Are we?

Prayer:

Father,
            Give us wisdom to stand in Your Truth, carefully guarding it. Make us trustworthy, O God, to keep Your Truth pure and share it with those who need Your Good News. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
