2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 14-15 (NIV)
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
It’s a real blessing to have a mentor, or someone whose example of living out their personal faith encourages us to do the same in our own Christian walk. I can think of many examples of such Godly people who have crossed my path these past forty five years who have inspired me to keep on the right path. Timothy had such examples from an early age, who made sure he was well instructed in the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for his faith in Christ.
I have been struck over these last few days of what a blessing and privilege it is to teach the young people in our church, the truths of the Bible, and the need for their relationship with Christ, just as others pointed me in the right direction many moons ago.
Dear Lord,
I’m truly grateful for each and every person who has encouraged, and at times even challenged my walk through their own example. Help me to be an encouragement to others likewise. I ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen
