Daily Bible Reading – August 2023, God’s Saving Word: Encouragementਨਮੂਨਾ

August 22
Introduction
Today's reading includes warnings about false teachers along with personal advice to Timothy. Timothy is told not to let anyone undermine him because of his youth and to continue sharing his gifts by reading Scripture, preaching, and teaching.
Scripture Reading
1 Timothy 4:1-16
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Timothy 4:12b
Be an example for the believers in your speech, your conduct, your love, faith, and purity.
Reflect
Timothy was probably younger than other church leaders of his time. What advice does he receive that could help him be a respected leader despite his youth? How are young leaders treated within your community of faith? In what ways can the church embrace new styles of leadership from young people?
Pray
Gracious God, at the height of his ministry, Jesus was a young man. May his example remind the church that young people are particularly gifted to serve as leaders. Lift them up and empower them by your Holy Spirit. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Timothy 5:1-25: The apostle Paul gives advice on how to treat others within a community of faith.
