Guard what's been committed

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge— by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen. – 1 Timothy 6.20-21

Keep and guarding our faith is vital if we are going to keep on serving God and sharing His glorious gospel. Satan would love to come along and snatch away all the good things the Lord has done for us. Beside that we are only human and are limited and if we don’t choose to commit to certain things they are liable to just kind of slip away from us. As Christians we must choose to guard and protect the truth committed to us.

Once again one of things we must choose to do is to not get distracted by all the mess going on around us in the world. There is so much to focus on today that we can neglect the truly important things and we don’t keep our eyes on these things and guard them with all our might other things can creep in.

How do we guard these things? We pray, we stay in the word of God, we study, we fellowship with other believers. We can’t let down our guard especially in these uncertain. Read, study, pray, and don't get distracted by foolish distractions.
