Devotional: Paul encourages Timothy to be strong in the grace of Christ Jesus. This strength isn't self-generated, but comes from relying fully on God's grace. As you face challenges today, remember that you're enlisted in God's army. How can you avoid entanglement in worldly affairs and focus on pleasing God? Reflect on areas of your life where you need to rely more on God's grace rather than your own strength. Pray for the discipline of a soldier, the dedication of an athlete, and the diligence of a farmer in your spiritual walk.
