—1 Timothy 3:8-15

I like the idea that I can “purchase” boldness (v. 13, KJV). At what price? A pure conscience. It makes sense, doesn’t it? It’s the pure in heart who shall see God. Consider what seeing God does to build one’s confidence. One example is Elisha’s fearlessness in the face of the enemy camp surrounding him. His servant, seeing only what the natural man could see, had to have his eyes opened to the invincible army in the spiritual realm before he could be calmed (2 Kings 6:15-17).
