Today's mind-transforming truth is in 1 Timothy 5.
Lord,
Give me wisdom and boldness to encourage my church family honorably, even those older than me (5:1-2). Help me to care for those today who have no one to care for them (5:3-4). Don't allow me to live for my own pleasure (5:6). Help me keep my promises/commitments that I make to You (5:12). Rule my mouth today (5:13). Give me wisdom to evaluate my pastors based on how hard they work at preaching and teaching Your Word (5:17). Let me do works for You, instead of sin, so that all will see Your great power to make me like You (5:24-25).
Ministry, leadership, discipleship, the local church and the deep riches of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
