1 Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. Have you ever been discouraged, disappointed or ready to give up? If so, you’re in good company. Timothy struggled throughout his ministry with the challenges that come when any of us seek to serve God over the long haul. Paul constantly was encouraging him to not give up but to stay faithful to the task at hand. Today let us follow the exhortation to make the most of the abilities and callings God has place upon our lives. Stop allowing the environment in which we serve God to sidetrack us. Do your best with what you have where you are – and then trust God to work everything out for His glory!
