The Wisdom of the Proverbs:
Proverbs 25:23 (NLT)
As surely as a north wind brings rain, so a gossiping tongue causes anger!
The Encouragement of the Psalms:
Psalm 89:1 (NLT)
I will sing of the LORD’s unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.
The Hope of the Old Testament:
Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV)
‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
The Gospel Message:
1 Timothy 4:1 (NLT)
Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.
1 Timothy 4:7 (NLT)
Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.
Observation:
The letter that Paul writes to Timothy is so timely for the times we are living in during this current season. There are truth, error, and half-truths spoken everywhere.
Where do you turn to find the truth? I’m glad you are willing to consider the question I asked. Why not turn to God, and His divine and holy word?
Psalm 119:105-106 (NLT)
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
I’ve promised it once, and I’ll promise it again: I will obey your righteous regulations.
We need the Bible, we need Godly and anointed pastors and teachers who rightly present the Word of God, and we need lives that are filled with the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth.
John 16:13 (NLT)
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.
“You must not lose confidence in God because you lost confidence in your pastor. If our confidence in God had to depend upon our confidence in any human person, we would be on shifting sand.”
Francis A. Schaeffer
Key Word Commentary: Thoughts on Every Chapter of the Bible.
Prayer:
Father God, we need You in our lives more than we ever needed You before. Father, make us as holy as You can. Father, help to be willing to trust and obey You, and the Word of God. Father, I ask that You would plant our feet on the solid rock, who is Christ who lives in us.

1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT)
10 And the LORD came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.”
