Evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned.
2 Timothy 3:13~14
In today's scripture reading (2 Timothy 3:1~17), Paul urges Timothy to continue in the same path as he learned and knows to be "profitable" because there will be terrible times in the last days.
All the things mentioned in the first part of the reading are happening all around the world, even within ourselves as we speak. I know I'm guilty of most of them if not all. More and more I realize that I'm being sucked into the pressures of the world, I feel the need to meditate on God's word because I remember in my short walk of faith that I had less fluctuation when I read the bible regularly. I slowly drifted away from that habit and I find it extremely difficult to get back into it.
My walk of faith has had a lot of ups and downs so although I know it is about time for me to stay consistent and I feel that I'm almost taking advantage of the fact that God's grace is free, but I also know that God will never stop intervening and never completely neglect his own. Now you may argue that this is doesn't justify anything and yes, I agree, but that's who He is and all I'm saying is that I refuse to make the mistake of convincing myself and think that I drifted too far and there is no way that God will forgive me AGAIN.
Although I won't bet on the fact that God will take me back because that's entirely upto Him, but I will desperately continue to hold onto the truth and acknowledge the undeniable fact that He is my Lord, my Savior and my Father.
