It’s a beautiful day to be a neighbor.
Today’s Family Wins devotional reflects on 2 Timothy 2:1 — “You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
There’s something remarkable about many people who earn the title “tower of strength” — they’re rarely towering physically or unshakeable emotionally. David Brainerd was one of them: physically weak, prone to seasons of depression, yet greatly used by God among the American Indians. Jonathan Edwards, who cared for Brainerd in his final days, wrote that whatever natural disposition or melancholy mixed in, no careful reader could deny what was on display — a remarkable instance of true piety in heart and practice, worthy of imitation. No matter your age or personality, you can walk with God the way Brainerd did. Your appearance may be unassuming, your manner quiet and reserved. But remember: greatness in God’s sight begins in the heart.
After you listen, go back and read 2 Timothy 1:15 through 2:13 for yourself — open your devotional to page 726, 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.
