Scripture

2 Timothy 4

2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.

Observation

This verse is loaded with important stuff for us. Preach the word of God whether the time is perfect or not so perfect. Then we have to correct, but we have to do it with patience. We have to rebuke and we have to encourage people using the word of God to do it.

People need to be encouraged and as much as we hate to do it they also need to be told “no” even when you know that they are not going to like it.

Application

I will be prepared to patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage people today.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, give me the strength and wisdom I need to patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people today.
