Text: 2 Timothy 2:1-20
There are two rules in a family:
Rule 1 - Mama is always right.
Rule 2 - If you think Mama is wrong, read Rule 1.
Well, there's a similar rule for God:
Rule 1 - God is always faithful.
Rule 2 - If it seems God has let you down or been unfaithful in any way, see Rule 1.
God's faithfulness isn't dependent upon or influenced by the faithfulness of others. Think about Gideon. He's hiding from the Philistines even though God's called him to deliver Israel. He tells God he's the weakest of his family, and his family is the weakest in his tribe. God's view is totally different. He calls Gideon a mighty man of valor, a warrior.
In 2 Timothy 2:1-20, we're instructed to be strong in the grace...." We're also told to endure hardship AS A GOOD SOLDIER. The word endure here isn't about gritting your teeth during difficulties. It's about going through the situation and sticking to the principles of the Word.
