It is the duty of priests to teach the true knowledge of God. People should go to them to learn my will, because they are the messengers of the LORD Almighty.
2 TIMOTHY 4:2 (TCEB)
Preach God’s message. Do it whether or not people listen. With ultimate patience, confront the people with God’s message. Warn them. Teach them.
THE ESSENCE
Church leaders are called to consistently and faithfully convey God's message.
DAILY FODDER
Who are the leaders in your life who have lived up to their calling to teach? What have you learned from them? How have they modeled your calling? What if you're not a priest, pastor, or church leader?
PRAYER
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for reminding me that I am to live as a faithful messenger and proclaimer of your word. Help me to be consistent, patient, and faithful among those you have granted to be "my little parish." Move me beyond merely giving a word or a message and into being a living message in life and practice. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
