Equipped to Make a Difference!

Scripture

2 Timothy 1

7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Observation

Timothy must have been a quiet person that may have had difficulty stepping out and leading. Paul is reminding Timothy that the Holy Spirit that dwells in every Christ follower is powerful, loving, and gives us self control.

I think that Paul and Timothy were two very different personalities, Paul being a very strong extrovert and Timothy being a more timid introvert, but Paul reminded Timothy that God had provided everything necessary for Timothy to be successful as disciple maker no matter how quiet a person he happened to be.

Application

I will focus my time and energy on building up men and women so they can disciple people using the gifts that God has given them for discipleship.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me stay on track and help me to keep my focus on men that need help knowing how to disciple other men.
