Jake's down for a nap, so I get a few precious moments of quiet and can sit down with a hot cuppa.
My post today is very simple. I read some verses today in my quiet time that really challenged me and I wanted to share them. The verses are from 2 Timothy (a letter written by a godly man called Paul to a younger Christian called Timothy), chapter 2 and verses 20-26. I'm reading them from the English Standard Version of the Bible. I hope that they encourage and excite you as much as they have me.
"Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honourable use, some for dishonourable. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonourable, he will be a vessel for honourable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will."
Have a lovely day!
