Paul teaches Timothy - and all Christians - of the power of God’s word to give our lives direction and Godly purpose.       


Reference Passage: … 1Peter 1:22-25 [NLT] …   USE THIS LINK … 

Peter quotes from Isaiah 40:8 about the eternal permanence of God’s word to guide and direct the lives of all who are surrendered to God’s truth thru His word.  

      

My Devotional JournalToday's Our Daily Bread author, Cindy Hess Kasper, AT THIS LINK  illustrates God’s call for generations of believers in God’s truth to pass along God’s wisdom as the Dutch did so in earlier centuries by sharing timeless Biblical truths by illustrating God’s word thru craftsmen on now-famous blue/white ceramic tiles made in Delft in the Netherlands (see photo). 

 

And today, for all reading with me, I pray that we all recognize the truth sung in the linked song and the reality of God’s call (see Scriptures above) for all of us, as disciples of Christ, to share and pass along His truth and wisdom to other Christians, especially the next generations.  


So we need to ask ourselves if we are using our sphere of influence in our families and among our friends to show and teach God’s truth and His call for Godly living as we ourselves live out and share God’s word with others.                           


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …for giving me - and fellow Christians - Your eternal truth so that we can live it out and share it with others.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to do all we can to live out and share Your truth with others … maybe even today!  … Amen
