31 October: 2 Timothy 3:1-9
Key Verse: 2 Timothy 3:5
holding to the outward form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid them!
Devotion:
I know I have said over the past few days that we should be willing to take on the world and share our faith and be lights in this dark world - well, using lots of other words I did...
But there comes a time when we have to step back and avoid people, just because we are weak at the time or we are tired or we are struggling.
The evil one will use everyone and everything around you to distract you from communing with God - so if you are feeling vulnerable or otherwise, maybe take a step back from the people who are 'in your face' and just have a private word with God.
He is not going to put temptations in front of you to test you - that is the evil one trying to trip you up. If you are strong and ready, then by all means carry your faith openly and forwardly so others can see how important God is to you!
Points to ponder:
Are you trying to keep up with others?
Will you just try to keep up with God...
