My blog tonight is about God's Word. My wife and I have been reading through Paul's letters in the New Testament. She wanted to do something for Advent. Each morning after breakfast, we started reading aloud to each other. Nancy would read a chapter then I would read a chapter.
If we came across a verse that needed a more in depth search, then we would dig into it to understand it before we moved on in our reading. Today, we were in 2 Timothy. Oh my goodness! We were blessed by the entire letter!
In 2 Timothy 1 verses 11& 12, Paul is speaking and yet God made it very clear to me that HE was speaking to me! "And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why i am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame. because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day."
I know that in the near future God will send me out as an "herald, apostle and a teacher." And I was reminded this morning that I should not feel shame because of my years of suffering! Jesus suffered. Paul suffered. Why shouldn't I suffer? I am thankful for my suffering! It has brought me closer to Jesus than I ever thought possible!
Has God given you a vision of what he wants you to do? By reading the Word everyday, God will show you his will for your life. I truly believe that our Father has a plan and a purpose for every person on earth!
May God's will be the same in heaven as it is on earth!
I am His,
David Walter Wiseman
