PRAYER MOMENT
Tuesday 26 January
2016, Timothy and Titus
FAN INTO A
FLAME THE GIFT THAT GOD GAVE YOU
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “That is why I am reminding you now to fan into a flame
the gift that God gave you when I laid my hands upon you.” (2 Timothy 1:1-8)
Reflection. How many of the people who at first
enthusiastically threw in their lot with Paul, were excited by his message and
offered to help him, actually stayed with him? Probably a number just drifted
away and went back to their old way of life. We can be caught up in enthusiasm for
a time about a project but then the difficult time comes where the enthusiasm
wanes and the going gets tough. The temptation is to move away. Paul must have experienced
some of his helpers drifting away and others even turned against him. But
Timothy and Titus were two he could rely on.
Prayer. Lord, help us, once we have laid our
hand to the plough, to persevere in our desire to serve you in one another.
Amen.
