ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
July 27, 2024
In 2nd Timothy 1:6, we read: 

For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.

Today, like every day, will present everyone with a challenge or two or even more. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you are doing in life. Of course, when we choose to make faith a priority, challenges are not necessarily a negative, an inconvenience, or painful. Challenges are what motivate us to rise in the morning and give of ourselves. Rekindle the gifts you have to offer to meet the challenges of this day, for God has not given you a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power and love.

Merciful God, may the challenges of this day bring forth the best within me. Amen.
