Guard what was committed to your trust!

1 Timothy 6:20(NKJV)

20O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—

These words just spoke to me today.  Guard what was committed to your trust.   In the verse above Paul is talking to Timothy but it could easily be directed to each of us who has accepted Jesus. 

How is that you say?

I see it like this.  When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we enter into a new and special and personal relationship with God.  We have entered into a trust so to speak.  It is up to us to seek God daily and to nurture that relationship with Him.  He is always there for us but it is always up to us to seek Him. 

So how do we guard that trust so to speak?  By being in the Word daily.  By praying.  By focusing on the vision that God has given us for our lives and striving on a daily basis to fulfill that vision.  By witnessing whenever God affords us the opportunity to do so.

So as we start the day tomorrow, let's all ask ourselves how are we doing in guarding what was committed to our trust; and then act accordingly!
