#soap # 2 Timothy 04 ## Title: Spiritual Confidence ## Scripture: (2 Timothy 4:18) “The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever! Amen.” (NET) ## Observation: There are so many verses in this chapter we could talk about that are valuable. I love how Paul encourages Timothy to constantly be ready to share the Good News he has received. He also talks about partnering with other people and finishing our race well. Is there a foundation to all this? What keeps all this together? The answer is found in verse 18 and it is spiritual confidence. Paul encourages Timothy to do all these things because the Lord is with us and He will deliver us from every evil attack. This means we need to understand there WILL be evil attacks. It also means God is not surprised. Finally, there is confidence because the Lord will deliver us. ## Application: Have confidence in the Lord in all things. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being with us.
