“Take Heed Unto Thyself” Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. (1 Timothy 4:16) The charge given to Timothy should be heeded in every household, and become an educating power in every family and in every school. We should all place ourselves under the teaching of the Holy Scriptures, and weave them into our daily thoughts and practical life. Then we will possess the attributes classed as highest in the heavenly courts. When we clothes ourselves in God, our lives will tell of His glory. “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine.” You need the first attention. First give yourself to the Lord for sanctification to His service. A godly example will tell more for the truth than the greatest eloquence unaccompanied by a well-ordered life. Trim the lamp of your soul, and replenish it with the oil of the Spirit. Learn from Him what it means to labor for those for whom He gave His life. The most talented worker can do little unless Christ is formed within, the hope and strength of the life. A noble, all-round life does not come by chance. It is the result of character building in the early years of life. God is waiting to inspire you with power from above, that all who stand under the bloodstained banner of Jesus Christ may work to call, to warn, and to lead souls into safe paths, and to plant the feet of many upon the Rock of Ages.
