Beyond the Gospels: Timothy
Today’s Scripture: 1 Timothy 5:1-11

This verse specifically talks about widows, but I believe it’s easily extrapolated to everyone. Self-indulgence seems to be the order of the day when it comes to our life and times. Selfies. Self-defined truth. Self-defined gender. Self-seeking happiness. Self-help. Self-promoting social media. God’s Word tells us this is no way to live. When we live self-absorbed, we might as well be dead.
Have you experienced the truth of Jesus’s words? Are you living abundantly? Or do you feel dead inside? unsatisfied? tired? complacent?
If you aren’t living a full life in Him, maybe it’s time for some self-examination. Maybe it’s time to ask Him to show you where you have been led astray from the Truth. Self-deceived.
We only get lost when we try to find ourselves.
We only find our true selves when we get lost in Jesus.
