1 Timothy 4:13-14 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

Thought for the Day: Growth Is Not An Accident


Reflection for the Day: Your Gift Must Be Developed

Paul writes to Timothy offering counsel, aiding him in his growth. He exhorts the young man to stay focused on the basics. It is through a consistent commitment to the basics that growth will come. He has been given a gift, one that cannot be neglected.

As the Lord places gifts within the body they cannot be allowed to remain dormant. It is essential that you recognize that growth is not an accident. It will be the result of your diligent commitment to God’s Word and prayer. Stay focused, you are being prepared to bless others.
