Being Godly

20 June

Was reading the book of 2 Timothy and was thinking what kind of instruments we want to be for God’s noble purpose and use. Do we want to be gold, silver, wood or clay? Being godly in this day and age seems like something foreign to do … but God wants to make us holy and useful to our Master and prepare us for His good work especially as we prepare for the 100k blessing and also to disciple our ladies.

In these last days, Paul predicts that there will be terrible times – people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power. We are to have nothing to do with them! We can use this as a good check-list for ourselves as we ponder and strife to live godly lives with God’s help.
