2 Timothy 2:13 

Many are the wonderful characteristics of God. And one that we count on the most is His faithfulness, because we ourselves cannot be. In our human frailty, we disappoint, let down, and hurt the ones we love. But not God. He is always faithful, all of the time. Faithful to His promises, His love, and His justice. I once read God’s faithfulness described as the gold standard of everything great and good. I love that! We can rejoice because God forever remains faithful when His people are anything but. And it was out of that loving faithfulness that He sent His Son as a sin payment for the world. Once we receive Christ as our Savior, we are sealed in Him forever. And how thankful are we that  because we are clothed in the righteousness of Jesus, our Father cannot deny His name, His Word, or His truth. The truth that because of His faithfulness, “nothing will ever separate us the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38–39).

Esther 4:14

With all of the violence and persecution facing Christians around the world, it’s easy to get discouraged. But now more than ever, it’s time to stop remaining silent and start working for God’s kingdom. Because with or without us, God’s plans will be fulfilled. And it’s up to us whether or not we choose to receive the blessing of being a useful part of that plan. Think of Esther. If she hadn’t answered God’s call, He still would have saved His people. But Esther wouldn’t have shared in God’s glory, or had been queen if she told God no. As Christians we are called “with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began” (2 Tim. 1:9). That means in His perfect timing, God has placed us right where He wants us. So no matter the circumstance, rejoice! For not only has God made you for a time such as this, He gives us the privilege of working with Him hand in hand!

2 Timothy 1:6

It’s easy to get complacent in our relationship with God. But just like the embers of a fire need stirring to reignite a fire, so do the embers in our hearts. For if our fire for the Lord goes out, what benefit are we to Him? Because each gift God blesses us with, is for the purpose of furthering His kingdom and blessing others. And so He calls to, through the Holy Spirit, stoke our embers, renew our hearts and minds, and work mightily for Him. So kindle afresh your gifts, stoke your fire, and burn brightly for the world to see!

2 Timothy 1:7

When you fail to reach a goal do have a laundry list of reasons as to why it isn’t your fault? If so you’re not alone. But as Christians victory can be ours when we partner with Christ. For what is impossible in our strength, is possible in God’s. Because God supplies us with everything we need to not only reach every goal, but to soar higher and father than we could ever imagine! In His great love, God as given us an arsenal of bravery, love, and self control. And armed with these gifts, we are unstoppable!
