Day 158 – March 26, 2024: II Timothy 1-4, Proverbs 22, Psalm 48

We continue along in Timothy, this time looking at the second letter that he writes to his protege. We all know II Timothy 4:6-8. It is the Scripture that I use the most for funerals and so we tend to skip past it as if we already know everything there is to know about its meaning. To some extent that is right, we know that for Paul his desire was to leave a legacy to his mentee which was based upon faith and not based upon any material items that he might have. This faith is not only the one that Paul exemplifies but also the faith that was exhibited in the family of Timothy, and especially in the women of Timothy’s family. We don’t often see the faith of the women lifted up as exemplary, good to see this.
