Day 310 1 Timothy 1–3 Psalm 112

Paul writes from Macedonia, thinking of his young friend Timothy, who is leading the church in Ephesus. He knows ministry can be hard and sometimes lonely, so he writes to encourage and guide him. Paul reminds Timothy that being a good leader means staying faithful to truth, showing love, and living with integrity.

In 1 Timothy 1, Paul writes to his young friend Timothy, who is helping lead the church in Ephesus. Paul reminds him to stay strong in teaching the truth about Jesus and not to get distracted by endless arguments or false stories. He shares how God showed him mercy, even though he once hurt and opposed Christians.

In 1 Timothy 2, Paul teaches that prayer should be made for everyone, including leaders and those in authority, so that peace can fill the land. Paul also speaks about worship and living with humility, showing that true beauty comes from a heart that honors God.

In 1 Timothy 3, Paul gives guidelines for church leaders, such as pastors and deacons. He says they should be trustworthy, patient, kind, and self-controlled, setting an example for others. Paul explains that the church is like a household where God’s truth is taught and lived out.

In Psalm 112, the psalmist describes people who honor God and live with compassion. They are generous, fair, and unafraid because their trust is in the Lord. Even when darkness comes, their hearts remain steady and full of hope.
