Philippians 2:19-21

Paul Commends Timothy
19 If the Lord Jesus is willing, I hope to send Timothy to you soon for a visit. Then he can cheer me up by telling me how you are getting along. 20 I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare. 21 All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.

Timothy was a younger leader that Paul loved to pour into.  Paul mentored Timothy and trained him to carry on the ministry in his absence.  We need teachers and learners to continue to carry on God’s ministry today.  We all start as learners, but eventually, we need to become leaders and mentor others to follow in our footsteps.  Paul was especially proud of Timothy and that brought him great joy!

Q: What quality did Paul admire and mention about Timothy in verse 20?

Q: Who are you apprenticing for God’s work?

Q: How can you help others become learners and teachers to help advance God’s kingdom?

"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy."

Heavenly Father you have brought great leaders into my life and for that I am thankful. Continue to change me from the inside out and teach me how to lead others. I want to bring You joy, God! Give me wisdom and direction on what You need me to do next.
