II Timothy 1:13; 2:2; 2:15; 3:10; 3:14-17
Timothy had been trained, anointed, and commissioned to do God’s work. In each of our lives God allows various things to happen that will teach us things we never thought possible. These life lessons along with preparation in the word of God allow us to teach the truth of God’s word to a lost and dying people.
Biblical training will help keep our mirrors clean. Paul warns Timothy in 3:5 that “people will have a form of Godliness but deny its power.” He continues by stating their “folly will continue.” It is so easy to get caught up in false truths. When you do, your mirror gets dirty and it is hard to see who God is and what He has done for you. By learning the word of God you help guard your life against the traps that the enemy throws your way. II Timothy 3:10 says to Timothy carefully followed doctrine. The same must be true for leaders today.
