In my quiet time this morning I was reading 2 Timothy and it was about Paul's prayer and charge for Timothy.
"Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction."
-2 Timothy 4:2
Everything that I read in the Word seems to always relate to YoungLife in one way or another. This charge from Paul to Timothy is really a charge for all of us! Our "in season" as leaders is during the school year when we are constantly seeing our friends and pouring into them, but our "out of season" is this time right now-summer. We are still to be pouring into the Word, learning things for ourselves and so we can be prepared to preach the word all the time. God provides us with divine appointments and we always need to be ready for those to come!
This verse also stuck out to be, so as you are going throughout the next weeks, I hope that your prayer is to always be prepared and equipped to do good work!
"All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
-2 Timothy 3:16-17
