2Ti 4:9-22;Pro 13:13-25;Luk 18:18-30;Neh 11 Analysis/Best Verse:: 2Ti 4.17 The Lord Stood by me & strengthened me Pro 13.13 God's wisdom is lifesaving Luk 18.29 There's a reward here & in the kingdom. Context is important: in the world to which he'd come--these words were from a poor itinerant Carpenter; and, in the world to come, the same takes His place as King of Kings Lord of Lords. Maybe it's my interpretation -- but, I think the riches he'd spoke of here were of spirit. Contract/Prayer: Please help me remember my place as a follower & my purpose as a witness of your grace.
