Thoughts on Today's Verse...

As we seek to pass on the faith to our children, friends, and younger spiritual "children" in Jesus' family, we would do well to remember Paul's example: Paul...
  • Taught the truth.
  • Passed on the truth that had been revealed and passed on to him.
  • Displayed that truth in his life.
  • Called on the people he was mentoring to put this truth into practice in their daily lives.
Paul's life enabled the Philippians to fully experience God's presence and find the peace God longed to give them. May our words and examples do something similar in the lives of those we long to influence!

My Prayer...

Father, help me be a better teacher in word and deed as I seek to influence those around me to become more JESUShaped. May my words and example bless those who need my help in their Christian walk and those in my family seeking to grow in your grace. In Jesus' name. Amen.
