No Charges

SCRIPTURE:

At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them.

‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

OBSERVATION:

Paul was doing his best to minister the gospel in pretty tough circumstances. Those who were with him, who he needed to stand with him, bailed on him. That’s a very personal and painful thing. Most people would be very bitter about that. Paul doesn’t hang on to it. He forgives them.

APPLICATION:

I can’t preach about forgiveness and not forgive. I can’t say God is my source and then blame others who don’t fully resource me.

God is my all in all!

PRAYER:

God, You are truly all I need today! Amen.
