A worker who does not need to be ashamed

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."  2 Timothy 2:15

Who are you trying to please? So often we look for man's approval of our work, but Paul's advice to Timothy was to live in such a way that God approved of his lifestyle.

Have you ever done a job well, and looked back on the task with satisfaction? We have each been given our work for today. Do it in such a way that you will not be ashamed.

And then, when it comes to God's word, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you study. Then share what you've learned with others, again asking the Spirit to give understanding of the Word to your listeners.

Go forth into this day with confidence - you are a child of the King!
