2 Timothy 2

Are you willing to endure any trial God has chosen for you to pass through, in order to grow upwards spiritually in heart knowledge and kinship with Christ and His sufferings? Will you allow Him to choose which kind of "dish" He will design you to be, so you may bring glory and honor to His name, by feeding His lambs and sheep truth and sustenance needed for their own spiritual growth? Live in such a way as to not grieve the Holy Spirit. Be a good soldier for Christ and be ready at all times to obey His command. God is the Farm Manager and knows what He is doing. Don't be sidetracked by the devil and his schemes as he works to gain a foothold in your life to try to trip you up, through the arguments of unbelievers. Remember who you are and to Whom you belong.
