Bible study time 😁 Lets talk about 2nd Timothy Chapter 2
I was just crying in the shower asking God “what am I doing wrong? I’m doing everything you told me to do. I’m fasting, I’m praying, I’m ministering your word. I try my best not too do harm to anyone yet people are still throwing dirt on my name for no reason ...
... bad things are still happening to me, the devil’s voice has never been this loud in my ear, and I’m being tortured by him, what am I doing wrong?” And God responded clear as day, “2nd Timothy chapter 2”
Verses 23-26 were always the hardest for me to comply with. “A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people.”
2 Timothy 2:24
Soo I’m supposed to be kind to EVERYONE? Even the people who’s only mission is to tear me down? I’m supposed to be patient?? And NOT ARGUE??? Tearing niggas pride apart used to be my specialty 🤦🏽‍♀️
But I’m starting to understand that this is a part of being his servant. I should feel honored to take part in the suffering because Jesus did the same
Instead of engaging in arguments or fights with people, I’m supposed to pray and ask God to change their hearts the way he has changed mine. I’m supposed to pray for them to be freed from the devil’s trap the way God freed me
And human flesh makes this so hard, because the flesh will never want you to do anything God wants you to do, so it’s definitely not easy.
But because we serve a God that is gracious and loving, he gives us these scriptures to help cope with the “i have to tear them down the way they tried me,” “I have to get the last words because they got me f*ed up” thoughts that come directly from the enemy himself
The main point is that Jesus suffered HORRIBLY, and aren’t we striving to be like him? Think about it ..
