| Monday 2 Timothy 1:8 So I must never be ashamed to tell others about You, Lord. And I am not ashamed of any in prison for Christ. With the strength You give me, I am ready to suffer for the proclamation of the Good News. Tuesday 2 Timothy 1:9 It is You, God, Who saved me and chose me to live a holy life. You did this not because I deserved it, but because that was Your plan long before the world began--to show Your love and kindness to me through Christ Jesus. Wednesday 2 Timothy 1:10 And now You have made all of this plain to me by the coming of Christ Jesus, my Savior, Who broke the power of death and showed me the way to everlasting life through the Good News. Thursday 2 Timothy 1:11 And You, God, chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of this Good News. Friday 2 Timothy 1:12 And that is why I am suffering; but I am not ashamed of it, for I know the One in Whom I trust, and I am sure that You are able to guard what I have entrusted to You until the day of Your return.
