Today’s reading is 1 Timothy 5
“But refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith. Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not. So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander. For some have already strayed after Satan. If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her care for them. Let the church not be burdened, so that it may care for those who are truly widows.”

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not”. While it’s tempting to be idlers at times, we know it’s outside of God’s purpose. God wants to give us “life to the full” and He has given us certain abilities and talents to be a part of His purpose. He has plans for us that are much greater than being idle. Please pray that we and our friends spend ALL our time “glorifying God and enjoying Him forever”. Please pray for the Beloved House as they need volunteers to help them move tomorrow.
