2 Timothy 2: 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Paul is wrapping up this letter to Timothy. He has warned him about people with bad intentions who mislead others, especially women. They care only about their own pleasure. Paul reminds Timothy that he comes from better stock. With that background and his training, Timothy is ready to do some really good work.
Lots of fighting and idol worship in today's OT reading and slim pickings in Paul's writing too. So I chose this passage about Timothy's spiritual background. This reminds me to be thankful for those who came before me, preparing me to accept the gift of faith God offered me. I was so blessed to be surrounded by God's people who made me receptive when He spoke to me.
Prayer: Lord, today I am grateful for my spiritual ancestry. I am so thankful that You blessed my life with people of faith. Guide me to pass that blessing on to those I meet.
Amen
