Coffee With The Lord

Thought of A PHRASE I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE ONE THAT MATTERS MOST TO ME this morning as I read the following passage during my time of “Coffee with the Lord”…

“WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!”

Matthew 25:21, 23

If you do these things… “YOU WILL BE A GOOD SERVANT OF CHRIST JESUS, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.

“Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; ⁸ for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

“Command and teach these things.  Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

“Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.

“Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.

“Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers!  (From 1 Timothy 4:6–16 ESV)

God helping me (and the Holy Spirit reminding me), I will!!!  I want to hear it more than anything!!!
