Today’s reading is 2 Timothy 1
“I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
2 Timothy 1:5-7 ESV

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God…for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” How do we “fan into flame the gift of God”? Why are you grateful to God? Do your closest friends know the answer? How about a person you know well, but with whom you do not discuss God? Have you told God why you are thankful today? It seems we can live in gratefulness to God and give Him our best OR we can think we do our best in our OWN power. Which seems more productive and peaceful? Please pray for we and our friends to thank God for His blessings today. Please pray for Craig’s meeting with Mike Glenn today.
