A person’s dying words can be very precious to their loved ones. Words about one’s faith can bring comfort or extreme disappointment. Join us as we look at St. Paul’s final words to find comfort and peace.
Scripture: II Timothy 4:7-8
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”
It is our prayer that Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life this coming week. This quote is taken from the sermon He Knows What He is Talking About delivered on Christian Crusaders March 11, 2012.
If you’ve experienced the power of his promises in your life and been a follower of his for some time, the message is the same. Listen to him and learn. Jesus really does know what he is talking about when it comes to living out the days of your life. Trust him with your life. Instead of trying to correct him, let him correct you. Instead of trying to direct him with your steps, let him direct your steps. Keep listening and keep learning. That is the encouragement of God today.
