2 Timothy 4:3 – For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lust shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.
Paul continues his charge to all believers:
Charge #6 – Paul encourages us to keep our heads in all situations
· Be steady
· Be sure
· Be steadfast
· He reminds us that our heads govern the movement and direction of our whole body - so it manages and directs the course of our lives
· Our heads will help us to have leadership and control over every situation we face
Charge #7 – Endure Hardship
· Paul reminds us that as we serve God we will endure difficulties
· Don’t quit when difficulties come
· Have faith and trust that the outcome is in God’s hands
· You will encounter some adverse circumstances
· They may be calamities like Paul faced
· Some of you may even suffer afflictions but Jesus said “Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world”
Paul makes it abundantly clear that hardships would come and when it does, he gave us the key for success – steadfastness in Christ.
In the midst of the difficulties that are sent to try your faith - hold on to God, He will keep you steady in the storm.
What difficulty are you enduring?
