“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of eternal life…” (1 Timothy 6:12) Paul tells Bishop Timothy in
his closing remarks of his first letter. He further counsels him to teach the
people the same “…Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation, against the
time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” (1 Timothy 6:19)
It seems to me that in my life I have periods when I am
honored to study, ponder and pray which strengthens me in the gospel. Such
periods are followed invariably by test of my faith. This life is for our
learning and what school does not require a test? So it is with life. We are
called upon to put to use and test the principles we have learned in theory. I
have had a glorious time this last year immersing in the study of the New Testament,
which I have shared with you on line if it pleased me. In the not so distant
future the test will come and I will be called upon to put to use my faith. There
will be fewer posts, but I will try to at least post a scripture daily that you
might also be encouraged.
