We may try to figure out everything around us, but it is not possible. Generally, we are always yearning for more, money, power, success, etc. Only God can satisfy this yearning. He knows us fully. We have eternal value and that should give us peace. Ecclesiates 3:11.

Jesus’s life on earth was meant to achieve different things. He walked in divine purpose, but still experienced challenges. He overcame and nothing hindered Him from fulfilling His mission. He impacted lives and left a legacy. What is your life’s purpose? If you allow Him, God will walk with you to fulfill it. As we celebrate Easter, kindly reflect on this. May the realization of the importance of Christ’s coming dawn afresh on us and motivate us to live like He did Isaiah 26:3-8.

Are you tired of trying to do things on your own and failing over and over again? I do that sometimes. Let us purpose to do what Moses did in Exodus 33:15 continuously. Then we will be assured of operating in God’s will consistently.

As we go through life, we shall experience good and hard times. During exile in Babylon, the Lord raised a prophet to be His voice among the Jews. His name was Ezekiel, meaning God is strong or God strengthens. God knew His people would go through a difficult time, but He still encouraged them and walked with them Ezekiel 1:3 and Ezekiel 2:1-9. Don’t give up. The Lord knows what you are going through. Seek Him and follow His counsel.

As we run our individual races, we may be tempted to look at others running alongside us & compare our race to theirs. God has set a different running trail for each of us, so let us be encouraged by the words of Ecclesiates 9:11. Have a peaceful day and trust in the Lord.

In 1 Peter 4:1-11, Paul gives the same advice on living for God to Perer. Why does he emphasize this? Please compare this with 1Timothy 4:12-16.

One of the things Paul asked Timothy to do in 1 Timothy 4:12 is set a good example in speech. Words are powerful and they can impact us and others greatly. We should constantly watch our speech by asking the Holy Spirit to guide us on what to say or not to say. Search what your bible says about speech. Use the concordance or the search icon on your bible app. See which verses minister to you concerning this topic.

As we purpose to support others like we read in 1 Tim 4:12-16, let’s consider the following: People generally like being encouraged. Expect of others what you would expect of yourself. As you set expectations, consider the skills, experience and maturity of others. Adjust expectations when circumstances change. Clarity of goals is key so that they are identifiable. Appreciate the effort put in.

I’m reminded of what we shared on March 13th to 15th and 22nd. We were created primarily to serve God the Creator. This life we are living should therefore be directed by Him so that He may accomplish what He desires through us. This thinking may have guided Paul as he advised Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:12-16. May we take heed lest we mess up our lives and those of others around us.

We sometimes compare ourselves with someone who is better at something we do & may feel insufficient. But God gave each of us gifts and talents to serve Him. Let’s use who we are and what we have to be a blessing to those God brings our way. Let us also encourage those who feel they are not good enough. I would never have played basketball like I did without the support of my coaches, teammates and friends or become the teacher that I am without the support of those God put around me. 1 Timothy 4:12.
