Day 90 — Grace to Keep Going and Pass It On

Day 90 · Helping Others Follow Christ · 2 Timothy 2:1-7 (NET2)

Paul tells Timothy to be strengthened in Christ’s grace and entrust the teaching to faithful people who can teach others. The soldier, athlete, and farmer illustrate devoted, disciplined, patient service. Completing these ninety days is not the end of life with God. Nor does a perfect reading record secure his love. Continue receiving his Word, praying in dependence, and helping others share the joy of knowing Christ.

Request

Father, strengthen me in the grace of Jesus and help me keep growing with others. Amen.

Read

2 Timothy 2:1-7

¹ So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. ² And what you heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be competent to teach others as well. ³ Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. ⁴ No one in military service gets entangled in matters of everyday life; otherwise he will not please the one who recruited him. ⁵ Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he will not be crowned as the winner unless he competes according to the rules. ⁶ The farmer who works hard ought to have the first share of the crops. ⁷ Think about what I am saying and the Lord will give you understanding of all this.
