Timothy Bible Studies- Week 1- Day 5

Scripture
 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.

Observation
Where we are is in direct relationship to how we behave in this world. If one does not keep the faith everything can and will be shattered. 

Application
God tells us to keep the faith and have a clear conscience. With faith nothing is impossible. If we do not have faith we will be the one who is suffering. 

Prayer
Dear LORD,
Help me keep the faith and let me always have a clear conscience. No doubts.
Amen





Timothy Bible Studies- Week 1- Day 4

Scripture

 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.

Observation
God accepts us for who we are- damaged, unworthy goods and sculptures us into masterpieces. He is ever patient and will groom us into what he designs for us. 

Application

Believe and trust in GOD. He has been here for us and will always be here for you despite all that is happening in this world. Follow his WORD and put all your worries to him.

Prayer
Dear LORD,
I place my faith in you. Deliver me from my worries and problems. I'm grateful that you came into the world for me.
AMEN.
