God's Promises Day 1
2 Timothy 4:16-18
At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Take a moment to really read that verse and reflect on what it is saying.
What is the promise given in this verse? It speaks of how no one came to his support, but instead they turned their backs on them. Has that ever happened to you? How do you cope? Here is how he did. He gave it to God. The promise given is that he will be given strength. We are meant to share God's word. Sometimes people will look down on you for that. God will give you the strength you need to carry out his plan if you just ask.
Another promise given is the Lord will rescue you from every evil attack. There is evil in the world. Evil situations and evil people. If we trust in God he promises to bring us safely out of that evil. He will give us strength and rescue us when evil comes our way.
So what are the two promises God gives us in 2 TTimothy?
- Strength so that the message might be fully proclaimed
- Rescue and bring us safely to his heavenly kingdom.
Remember these promises when evil comes your way. You will gain strength and safety. All you have to do is pray and ask God. Let him take you into his loving arms.
