Don’t be diverted!

Don’t be diverted!

I Timothy 4:11-116 ~ The Amplified Bible

Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.

Cultivate these things. Immerse yourself in them. The people will all see you mature right before their eyes! Keep a firm grasp on both your character and your teaching. Don’t be diverted. Just keep at it. Both you and those who hear you will experience salvation.

Charles Swindoll once said, "Life is so daily".  I'll never forget that.  Years are made up of days that fit together in a plan to make a difference in our lives. Today it is rainy and dreary here in Tennessee where I sit writing this.  I could brush this day aside thinking it was just a day to get through OR I could understand that each can be a breakthrough day or a stepping stone day to something extraordinary. Don't be diverted today by lethargy or dread ~ cultivate the things that God has placed in your heart.  Today could be filled with great surprises! Look for Him in the ordinary moments and in all things be thankful today!
