^PRAY

^{Take time to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you study God’s word today!} 

Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me,
in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 1:13-14

Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus. Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.
2 Timothy 1:13-14

WRITE

I think I’ve mentioned before – I’m a routine person. I feel safe and comfortable when my days go as planned, and everything falls into place as expected. But, sometimes this safe space allows me to get into a pattern that is not necessarily beneficial for me. I get in habits of ease, over-work, and sin… and it all happens pretty quickly when it becomes part of my routine.

• Do you have any patterns in your life that do not honor God? Or, maybe distract you from your focus on Him?
• Paul gives us a cure… follow the words “you  have heard from me.” What does God’s word say about your patterns? Pray about it and ask the Lord to direct you to His word… (try Romans 12, Philippians 4:8-9, Galatians 5:22-23, John 15:1-17)

May the Lord reveal to you your good and bad patterns. May we all live a life patterned after God’s word. Praying for you.
