It’s a beautiful day to be a neighbor.
Today’s Family Wins devotional reflects on 1 Timothy 3:1 — “Here is a trustworthy saying: whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.”
Most employers care more about outward achievement than inward character — in the business world, accomplishments tend to outrank who a person actually is. Not so in the family of God. Patrick Fairbairn points out that Paul’s list of qualifications for church leaders is overwhelmingly moral — attributes of character, not gifts of mind or talent. The ministry doesn’t just need good businessmen, good civic leaders, or good politicians. It needs good people. Serving God is never only about doing the right things. It’s about being the right person — the kind whose hands and heart are never in conflict.
After you listen, go back and read 1 Timothy chapter 3 for yourself — open your devotional to page 712, pull up the app, or grab your free copy at mindwolves.com/tfw. Let God speak to you directly, in your own time, in your own home.
A godly husband isn’t made in a day. Neither is a godly wife, a godly father, or a godly mother. They’re made in moments like this — one verse, one choice, one day at a time.
