2 Timothy 2:15
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
Just a quick thought as we head into the New Year. I don't know if you are one who chooses a "Life Verse" or a " Theme Verse" for the year? But, if you do, you can't go wrong with this selection.
It's a good reminder to always put forth your best effort even when you're not feeling it. A sign of maturity is doing better than expected even when the circumstances don't support it, surprising even yourself.
It also teaches us that "rightly handling the word of truth" is a high priority for Christ-followers even in a culture that doesn't esteem truth as it should. But, most importantly, it defines our audience and the focal point of our service as The One True God who loves us, redeems us, and sanctifies us.
It is His praise that we should desire most not the "atta-boys" from others. It's that focus that will bring out our best in handling His Truth, which is also the Only Truth.
Blessings for a great 2025!
