In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
2 Timothy 4:1-2
How do you prepare for the day? Do you start the night before or are you a morning last minute preparation individual? Everyone prepares for their day in different ways, and there are certain routines in our life that we find ourselves doing over and over again. Is one of those routines prayer? God wants us to be prepared to preach the word through our actions and opportunities, but if we don't prepare with prayer, how do you think that will work. I have friends who can be quite impatient with others and how they act, but I know that if they prayed for that patience daily that God would give it to them and would probably reveal a whole new side of them. The thing is, we all have to prepare and need to make sure that we do so in the right way, by humbly bowing before God and giving Him the praise He deserves. Prepare by praying, I know you will see a difference.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
