—1 Timothy 4:11-16
by: Susan Bond.
It is said that “Success breeds success.” When Paul tells Timothy to pour himself wholly into exercising his gift, it is not only for his own profit but also for the profit of “them that hear [him]” (v. 16).
I like these words from Beth Moore: “The joy of Jesus comes to the believer only one way: transfusion. Like an intravenous drip from Vine to branch!” (The Beloved Disciple, 172). As Timothy meditates on the Word of the Lord, he will thrive and be fruitful. The same is true of us.
