1 Timothy 6 ~ worthy of full respect

Luke 13:1-9


Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

8 “‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”

1 Timothy 6

All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered. 2 Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves.

Groundhog Day - was there ever a better training ground to not allow the day to leave without acquiring something unique? Reading the Word of God to find out what we can bring to the table.

If we are in one place - we probably should be learning.

If only he had been allowed to keep a gratitude journal. Or text himself gratitude moments.


Thank You God we can rely upon You. For help. For seasonal change. For adventure. For learning. For acquiring skill. For giving to us and we bless others. For Your assistance when life is stressed. Knowing You are God. Thank God in Jesus. Amen.
