As with a fire whose embers are merely smoldering, the Apostle encourages Timothy to fan the gifts he has been given so that they once again reach the intensity they formerly had.

How about you?  The gift of God deposited in you is actually one of the most significant parts of your life.  If you’ve allowed the subtle enemies of spiritual life to smother God’s deposit, begin right now by committing yourself again to seeking the Lord through prayer, study, and action to once again be aflame for His purposes.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, I don’t want to be lukewarm any longer.  I hereby stir up myself in the Holy Spirit.  Make me hot for You.

DAILY READING:  2 Tim. 1-4
