Delivered. Preserved.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

2 Timothy 4:18

Reading:

2 Timothy 4:1-18

“Who shall judge” me — how does that reality affect my so-called daily life?

Do I still value and live by sound doctrine?

Am I committed to keeping my ears turned toward the truth?

How am I fighting a good fight and keeping the faith?

“Hath forsaken me” versus “profitable to me” — who has experienced which from me?

Who is depending on me? And how?

“I pray God that I may not be laid to their charge” — how can I develop such an attitude toward those who have wronged me?

Am I aware of Christ standing with me and strengthening me? Is He?

[The Scriptures say in 2 Timothy 4:7 -- I have kept the faith]
from 2 Timothy 4:7

Me? Perfect?

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 3:17

Reading:

2 Timothy 3

Am I actively working with God to resist, overcome, and cleanse away ungodliness in my own heart?

Or do none of those things in verses 2-7 threaten and trouble me?

Is mine a pseudo godliness, consisting only of an outward form?

What does my learning do for me and for my relationship with truth?

How is my continuing (14)?

What effect is my acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures having on me?

“Throughly furnished unto all good works” — does my living manifest that?
