Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you – guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
2 Timothy 1:14 (NIV)
Talk it! Paul told Timothy to guard the truth that had been entrusted to him. Timothy was to teach it to others who would teach it to others and on and on. Centuries later we have the true gospel because Timothy and others guarded the truth. We are likewise commanded to entrust the truth to others. Only “with the help of the Holy Spirit” is the truth passed on and protected.
Live it! Let your life reflect the joy and hope you have in God. As others see the peace and comfort you have in Him it will draw them to Him. Pass it on! “Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you”. Choose to take every opportunity to share the truth about God’s love, what He has done in your life, with others. Share especially with those in your own family. Make every effort to spend more time with God in prayer and in studying His Word. Take steps to live it and pass it on!
Pray it! Praise the Lord for who He is and what He has done in your life. Ask Him to equip you with what you need to step out in faith and obedience. Pray that the Spirit will open your eyes, ears and heart to the opportunities God sets before you to share and pass on the faith and trust you have in Him. Ask Him to help you grow and change in ways you can be more useful to Him. Ask Him to help the desire on your heart to be a reflection of more of Him in your life each day in a way that brings honor to Him.
