Today’s Thought “And the Award Goes To…” G. Ward

2 Timothy 2

²³ But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. ²⁴ The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, skillful in teaching, patient when wronged.

 

To be perceived as passive is to be equated with our Lord Jesus. HE didn’t offer contest with some adamantly spreading/spewing controversies lacking eternal implications – because as Maker of Heaven and earth (John 1:1-3, 14), His divinity understood mankind being enamored with ever-evolving points of presumption, so eloquently argued and remained focused on the goal of eternality for any (2 Pe.3:9).

We, who follow accordingly, are called to an exchange similarly; that forsakes temporal, compelling attempts towards obliterating social diseases and political unrest; giving any (of our daily encounters) a chance to know ONE who is still granting peace, resolute deliverance and perfect guidance, while others argue who in these moments may be deemed – the greatest.
